Linda & Bill,
Depending on where you live, you might want to enlist your neighbor's help
for tour parking. Last summer I had about 250 visitors through here in
conjunction with a program on fragrance in the garden. Since I live in the
city and some of my neighbors don't have garages (they park on the street),
I wanted to free up as much parking space as I could. Letting your
neighbors know ahead of time that there will be lots of cars or maybe even
tour buses on your street could be helpful. I also have been known to ply
their cooperation with a few nice plants over the fence on occasion. :)
(OK, call it a bribe) Keeping your neighbors happy avoids sour grapes and
heated discussions.
You will need at least 2 helpers. One to keep the refreshments going and at
least one other (two is better) to help answer questions from your visitors.
Good luck and enjoy your big day, Marilyn

making the spruce-up easier and faster or making it more enjoyable to the
