Along with other gardens usually open but closed for lockdown, Hilliers Arboretum re-opened this week: strict social distancing measures in place, new separate entry and exit system, timed and pre-booked entry and no refreshments offered.
Real sign of the times Hazel beautifully captured, our camera club is going to put on a exhibition with images taken recording the COVID 19 period and are asking for our images, I don't have any I'm still in shielding mode at home and still have not got out:)
Glad that they are re-opening cautiously. Here in Ontario we are beginning to re-open too and, for the most part, we seem to be doing it cautiously with people wearing masks and social distancing.
My brother-in-law is in Arizona where things seem to be quite different; restaurants with many people, no masks in sight, and little attempt to social distance. Time will tell who got it right.
At last, I do think places like this outside are pretty safe....I would rather go looking round a garden like this than go shopping next week...how on earth is it all going to work but open up we must else the country will go bust!
