We have been 'talked into' opening our garden for an afternoon for some
"Garden Safari" scheme or other.

Advice please from you seasoned experts as to what we should do and what we
should not do.

Our garden does go through from one road at the front to the one behind. Is
it a good idea or not, to have an 'In here' and 'Exit there' so they go
straight through?

(Ices and Cream Teas are being organised in another garden)

I would imagine most people would want to go out the way they came in, some
because of superstition, and some because of idleness, they parked as close
as poss and don't want to walk round the block to get back to the car. Of
course if you were to let them in the front, and put a sign up at the back
pointing them to the next garden/ tearooms etc that might work.

When is it anyway? I don't often get to the Island, but you never know.....

I feel that the organiser will take advantage of the 'through route' to have
the trek going to another garden. Also, as far as I can tell, it would all
be walking as the gardens are close together in relation to each other and
driving from one to the other would be a pain in the whatsit

I'd say better have an "in" and "exit" system or you'll just have people
getting in each other's way aand treading on each other's feet (or worse
your plants) as they try to get by. At least with a one way system they'll
all be heading the one way.

Those were my thoughts and why I suggested it. Once they are in, the only
way is ....... out :-))

I would want to be able to see one plant, then see another further down
the garden, and be able to go back and look again at the first to
compare, and generally want to wander around the garden at my own pace,
looking at what I'm interested in and learning as I go through, and not
be shepherded straight through.

Our garden is such that to come in at the front, then go through to the
back, would be logical and I doubt if you would want to go back to the front
as all of the 'rooms' are in the back as you progress through. The main
attractiveness (is that a word?) is in the back because this is the largest
area. This is one reason why we restructured the inside of the house a few
years back to give us a 'Garden Room' overlooking the garden, with a
'Farmhouse Kitchen' in the middle of the house. (Our house is like a
Tardis', bigger on the inside than the outside)..
