Especially for the younger Geocachers!!!
A GREAT example of park and garden staff endorsing geocaching.
The hide has been built for the cache!
A garden that has all the best!
And just take a peek through the gate
at just the right season
and the largest pumpkins you might spy!
This cache has been set up with our younger cachers in mind
Wander the gardens and you might find
a worm farm nearby,
a chicken tractor
and fruit and vegetables galore.
A word of caution though
the gates you might find shut
if in winter you decide to visit after 5.00pm
Or during daylight savings time later than 7pm
So no staying up past bedtime just for this one
No excuses for a late night!
Check out the armchair.
Don't send the kiddies around the back by themselves, as there are rodent baits in the area (well covered, and not traps, but worthwhile avoiding).
Hint should be used, as this is a high muggle area at times
The cache is in the 'Sustainable Backyard Garden', approached via the sundial court area. Head for the 'Tudor Garden' or through the 'Herb Garden' and the 'Kitchen Garden'
The cache is a click clack container with goodies suitable for the younger set. This is a quieter spot of the gardens, but you still need to be wary as people are often admiring the produce, and workers come and go.
Do check out the tamarillos, squash and salad vegetables. There was peanuts growing recently too!
One more note - follow the link and you can download a map before you head out to this cache. Or pick one up at the information centre as you head in.

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required.
Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
