To be honest, I find the poster for Ham Open Gardens more attractive than the prospect of actually visiting the gardens.
The poster gets everything right; it is appealing and it says all the you need to know in large clear letters. This is very different to the approach sometimes adopted for Ham Fair and I hope that the simpler and clearer style will be used for all such events from now on.
Mt issue with the gardens is that I have seen most, if not all, of them many times and they lack the grandeur of those on show in Petersham Open Gardens, particularly now that the lovely garden at the convent has been built over.
I also have an issue with the way that the event is publicised on the HPA&AG describes the event on their website, which states "Once every two years, we have unique opportunity to ...". If it happens every two years then it is not unique!!
