Please let me know what you think!

We are working on the interpretive signs for the Caribbean Garden and one of the themes is the role of the Caribbean as a depository for plants from around the world. One of the stories is about Captain Bligh’s pursuit of breadfruit in the South Pacific and the resulting mutiny. We have a debate here about the language, which is

“While you’re likely familiar with Admiral Bligh’s ill-fated journey aboard the HMS Bounty, you may not be aware what brought him and his crew to Polynesia in the first place… Breadfruit.”

Are you familiar with Mutiny on the Bounty? Do you think most people are?

What are some of the things that you would like to know when you are visiting the gardens? I hope that we have plant labels covered – we are ordering 3000!

We are thinking about having special early morning hours one or two days a week for visiting with your dog – plastic bag and leash are compulsory. If we did have this available, would you come?

Another plan is to have a sunset concert one evening a week, probably Wednesday, during season and you could preorder a high quality boxed picnic dinner. Seating would be the blankets or folding chairs that you bring. Would you come?

Right now as we prepare to open in just 8 months we have lots of questions and it sure would be nice to hear from you.

Also I would really like to know if you Facebook or Twitter or use some other way of communicating.

Thanks and all the best, Brian
