The San  Diego Zoo wanted to be paid for the privilege
(I had a good laugh over that  one). In general, public gardens are fine with
it, providing you assure  them they'll be credited -- free publicity is a
strong motivator. 

The San Diego Zoo may not be the only place to want money.  I  contacted the 
English Heritage last week, after this very interesting  thread.  The group 
control about one half of the public paces open to  the public in England - the 
other belong to The National Trust.  They sent  me to another organization 
altogether who deal with the publicity and they charge a nominal fee to publish 
photos of their gardens/properties.   My benevolence says that they need money 
to do the work that they do.  The  other side of me says I am helping them get 
people in so it is to their  advantage that I publish the photos.
For the record, the National Trust have not deigned to  answer.....yet.
