for commercial photography it is 75.00 and hour
this is from their web site:

Fuller Garden, Leonard Courtyard, Beggs Courtyard, Japanese Garden and the Conservatory are subject to a fee of $75.00 per hour.

Nice picture :) I'm trying to visit each season to take pictures. The fall was beautiful. The winter was alright, but I'm really looking forward to going this Spring too.

This was from last fall:

Yep. The general gardens are free, but the Japanese Gardens has an admission fee to wander around.

Great pix, Mike and Lyncca! I love the Botanical Gardens! Good thing that it's basically in my back yard :-)

I hated to hear that they weren't going to do the butterfly exhibit this year.

It is a couple of dollars, but worth it. If you go first thing on Sunday morning, you will more than likely be the only person in there. It is really peaceful and relaxing then :)

Oh, and FYI, no tripods are allowed.

Lyncca is correct about going early on Sunday mornings. I went this past Fall about 8:00 on a Sunday morning and only saw 2 other people the entire time that I was there. But you might want to keep an eye on the weather if you are planning to go THIS weekend because the early mornings are supposed to be VERY cold.

I've shot several bridals there not sure If I can find them. I thought they were $150 at the Japanese gardens and $25 for Botanical gardens. I shoot at Botanical gardens it seems like a lot.
