The garden is equipped with basic amenities, including toilets and designated rest areas for crews. There are specific spots that can be used as basecamps or for staging equipment between shoots.

Risk factors

Considering the outdoor location, productions should prepare for sudden weather changes. Equipment should be protected against moisture, and staff should be briefed on avoiding damage to sensitive plant species. Respect for the natural environment is paramount.
