We spent 2 hours in a taxi yesterday trying to find your open garden, we managed to see one sign and that was it
Really not good
On behalf of the BHS, I wish to offer you our sincerest apologies. There was signage along the route to be followed. I will ask that the signs be placed more prominently in the future.
Kind regards,
Jackie
