Yes, we have picnic benches that are now open.
There are a lot of benches in the garden. Some are under tree shades and some in open. Me and my wife had our lunch on the bench near the small musical fountain as it was sunny there. No one said no. Two three people were even working in the garden and they said nothing. Just to let you know the restrooms were closed when we visited the garden in mid Feb 2021
