Yes, I have just posted on the Walking thread!
We Visitor Services volunteers were laid off but told we could still go there as visitors but not to be identifiable as NT workers. I went there on Thursday, and photographed the geese! I was hoping to continue a weekly visit as I am doing some photo projects of my own.
However, that is not to be for, perhaps some time.
The garden was busier on a Thursday than I had seen it for weeks, partly because of the better weather but also, it seems, because it was free. Reckoned there were over 350 visitors, and on Friday over 200 cars were counted in the car park. Although I managed to keep my distance virtually the whole time I was there it was obvious that many were disregarding this instruction.
So, the inevitable has happened, close to all ... and just when the gardens are (arguably) coming to the best time of the year. All planned activiites have been cancelled or postponed. Biggest disappointment is the Secret Garden activity that will, hopefully, now happen later in the year.
I understand that the Bodnant Garden NT website will be constantly updated.
