Default Gardens open in my town


The other thing is, do I need insurance for Health and Safety, because I
have lots of Agaves, small ones as well as a 6 foot one grown from a 1"
bulbil, plus Pujas which are very dangerous. Not to mention the ponds,
and other things. Should I put up a notice saying "Enter at your own
risk - and please don't bring any young children in here" or what?

Four weeks to go...

I was thinking about this last night and I seem to remember being told about
the "Beware of the Dog" signs on gates. THAT is a warning and an admission
that you have a dangerous dog :-(

By you putting warning signs up, it shows that you KNOW some of your plants
are dangerous, but you are still opening up your garden!!!!

I think a warning put out by the organisers on the line of 'Please remember
that you are entering private gardens. Please respect the sights and sounds,
appreciate them and don't touch. You are entering these gardens at your own
risk and neither the organisers of this event nor the householders take any
form of responsibility'

Now if you intend to open every weekend and charge a fee .................
well, different matter.

Just my thoughts on it. Someone will no doubt shoot me down in flames.
