Be prepared! Anyone visiting a garden site should wear long pants and socks to avoid bug-bites. Wear closed toe shoes (preferably with ankle support due to uneven terrain) that you wouldn’t mind getting dirty. Long sleeves are also recommended to protect the skin. And as always, wear sunscreen and bring hydration!
