In the whole wide world here's an oasis for the soul. You could
pass within meters on the surrounding highways and never know this
sanctuary exists. No matter what your mood when you enter, these
amazing gardens will immerse you in awe and wonder.
The owners gave us permission to set this cache. It's available
all year round outside the front gate, but the best time to hunt is
April to mid October (Minter Garden hours)
when the gates are open. FTF prize is a free pass to the gardens
from Faye.
