What I liked & disliked about Open Days Directory Guide

This is actually a great book for people who like to take short road trips and visit gardens in their area. It's basically a listing of "open houses" in people's private gardens. I like the fact that so many garden owners/enthusiasts are sharing their talents in gardening with the public. The book offers a description of each of the gardens, plus drivng directions, and the dates/times that the "open house" will be going on. It also lists tips on how to be polite when visiting the gardens. One thing I did not know when I purchased this book is that it does not have any pictures! So one must make the trip out to see for oneself and only on the days that are listed in the guidebook. No, you can't go just any time!
