I carried a small backpack with no problems. There was no security that I noticed for the interior portion of the garden. The exterior part is open to the public and shouldn't have any restrictions.
Q:

A:
Yes
Q:
Would kids enjoy this place?

Q:
Is it worth visiting in mid March?
A:
Yes! It is very pretty. It doesn't have to take up a lot of your time and combine it with a visit to the Capitol.
