Thanks for the link :)<br /><br />Deb - thank you :) The trick I've found with my niece and nephew is to find a garden with something they'll also like!<br /><br />Sylvia - from what I've learned from Lytes Cary Manor is that sometimes areas need to be rested because of the sheer numbers visiting or because something's happened. For instance LCM has had some parts of the garden flood, so things need to be dried out thoroughly before the public can go over those areas again. Grass paths and lots of visitors don't seem to go together that well either. I suspect that places like Sissinghurst are going to have to make some sympathetic alterations to their grassed areas so their high visitor numbers can be maintained without a detriment to the gardens.<br /><br />Elizabethm - thank you :) And I believe you might be seeing Zoe soon? If you are, do give her my love.<br /><br />Anna - thank you and Lytes is indeed a lovely garden. Enjoy Emsworth - how about entering some of your produce? It's a fun show ;)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-26656769136755704022009-08-26T21:26:32.487+01:002009-08-26T21:26:32.487+01:00I was going to say that Lytes looks like a lovely ...I was going to say that Lytes looks like a lovely garden but ....:) Congratulations on achieving blog of the month in the Countryfile mag. <br /><br />I am off to have a peek at Emsworth.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-40331271092778629802009-08-26T13:31:20.527+01:002009-08-26T13:31:20.527+01:00I love that picture VP, just perfection.

I have also found they close areas either for maintenance (not valid they are not open every day) or due to ware on narrow paths (valid) which has really spoiled my visit. Hidcote was awful as on top of crowds, areas closed they were filming with very bright lights. I do find private gardens quieter and need our support to maintain them, also they are more innovative and full of ideas.<br /><br />Going to Scotland next month, so hope to enjoy several lovely gardens.
