| Some sites on the tour feature
beautiful gardens, some feature unusual or interesting homes, while some
of our hosts graciously open their homes and gardens to tour guests. |
| To reduce vehicle congestion, we encourage you to carpool with others,
and to begin your tour at any site on the list. The road names that you
need to find your way to each site are marked on the ticket-map. Each site
has a well-defined banner marker with the associated number (see
example image left). Please park
on the road, unless directed otherwise, and avoid turning around in
neighbours’ driveways. |
In consideration for our hosts, please leave your pets at home, and
remove your shoes when you enter a home and carry them through to the
exit, (we suggest you bring along easy to remove footwear). Volunteers will direct you to the areas of the property that are
open to view. Please, no smoking or indoor photography.
