What “free” means on this page
Free here means no ticket and no admission charge, read off the organiser's own listing by a person. It does not always mean walk-up: planting days, ranger walks and library workshops often cap numbers, so “free · registration required” is written on the card where it applies. Free for residents only, and free with admission, are labelled too, because both matter at the door.
