Quick question......

For the Gardens visit, would you all like to do the docent guided tour or self tour???? Personally I prefer the docent guided tour...it lasts 45 minutes and probably better than just reading the brochure along the way.

For those wanting to do lunch....early lunch...say 12 noon and do the gardens around 1:30 or 2????

Or later lunch...do gardens around 2 and lunch say 3:30 or so.....

What say you??

I'm in for a group photo, and anyone not up for that can opt out with no hassle

Yeah, but with the docent tour we have to be QUIET! We want to be able to chat and wander at will, LOL! I'm okay with whatever time you want to meet at the garden / lunch

Ok, I called the place...here's the deal...we don't have to register to take pictures...they don't mind if we take pictures of the flowers and plants so no issue there. If we want to do a docent led tour, we can either make a reservation or we can just show up and grab brochures. I do need to know who is coming so please send me a message to let me know how many in your group will be joining us for the festivities! Either DM me here or send me a message to aerokid76 at gmail.com (trying to avoid spam!).

Here is the link to the self guided tour brochure:
http://www.gardensoftheworld.info/Fo...GuidedTour.pdf

Now if we want to do a group photo in the gardens, I have to make a reservation for that so maybe we can take the photo right outside the garden.

Tentative plans:
Gardens of the World
2001 Thousand Oaks Blvd
Thousand Oaks, CA 91362
805-577-1135

July 23rd or July 30th (leaning more towards July 23rd)

Time: the only constraint I saw was SoontobeSunrise and that he could not attend unless it was at 3PM so I'm thinking we could start around 2:30 PM (Sunrise...let me know if you might be able to make it earlier, the gardens close at 5PM) else start at 3PM or earlier

Late Lunch/Early Dinner: For those that want to do lunch, we could do PF Chang's (or anywhere in that area i.e. Claim Jumper, pizza or whatever) around 1PM and then mosey on over to the garden at 3PM. Or eat after the gardens....


CHOICE IS YOURS:

So far, these are the people who have expressed interests in going:

24h7
DowntownVentura
Opensky
rgb123
Charles
Pedro
Soon2BNSunrise
WinstonSmith
Cyanna
LadyKLO

Others??

Please let me know your thoughts at the latest by Monday evening since I have to call the gardens back on Tuesday. Final details will be sent out via direct message or email for group privacy!
