It's best not to feed the ducks at all. Natural is best and they have all the food they need already in the Garden. With 500,000+ visitors a year all the food quickly adds up and sadly some ducks have left due to critical health issues.

If you do feed the ducks, please chose these healthier options and limit how much you feed them:

• green peas (max 10 per person)
• grapes cut in half (max 10 per person)
• grains such as cracked corn, barley oats or birdseed (max 4 pinches per person)
• duck feed pellets, available from farm supply stores (max 4 pinches per person)
• earth worms, or worms from your compost (max 4 pinches per person).

We ask that you DON’T give them bread. It can make them sick, and eventually even kill them.
