From a gardening pov, not many of the really good gardens are
open to the public regularly, though Samares Manor is worth seeing. In
the summer months there used to be a charity open-garden scheme for an
organisation called the Jersey Association for Youth and Friendship. If
JAYF is still doing it, this opens some wonderful private gardens up for
one Sunday and there's usually around 10 or 12 of them, IIRC. Derek will
know if that's still running.


It is. In the light of recent events doesn't the title of that
organization seem, how shall we put it, suspect? Probably founded in the
time when you could write a book called 'Scouting for Boys' and nobody
laughed.
