There are a couple of tables near the kids area. There are also some by the center. There are benches in the botanical gardens. If eating in the gardens, I would highly suggest everything that comes in with you leaves with you (trash).
Yeah, who's going to stop you?
You may bring food the bessie mitchell house just got renovated and has tables on the backside.
There's seating areas but not actual picnic tables
I'm not aware of, nor do I recall seeing any picnic tables within the garden however there is a small children's park literally next to the gardens that I believe has a picnic table.
