ENJOYING YOUR DAY ON THE TRAIL
Here are some handy tips to make your Edible Garden Trail weekend more pleasureable.
SAFETY FIRST

Important Message for all Visitors

The Edible Garden Trail team and the garden owners have taken all reasonable precautions to make the gardens safe for visitors. However, despite all efforts, there are possible inherent dangers in all gardens, including paths, steps, walls, borders and other garden features that may present hazards. Particularly as these are working gardens developed for produce not visitors.

 

We ask that when climbing, descending or crossing parts of the gardens, you act only within the limits of your fitness and take particular care to prevent tripping, slipping, falling, striking or colliding with objects in the trail gardens.

 

Please check our website or facebook for any updates to the Trail regarding weather conditions or garden closures due to unforeseen circumstances.
 

• Please always ask about stroller access as some gardens are not stroller friendly.

• Children must be accompanied by, and under supervision of, an adult at all times.

• Dogs and other animals are not permitted in any garden.

• Garden visitors must stay on paths at all times and must not enter areas marked "out of bounds" or obviously private.

• Beware, some gardens have bees or other insects.

SLIP SLOP SLAP & SIP
Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat and water – it can be very
hot walking around some of the gardens.

PLAN YOUR ROUTE
To avoid back-tracking or missing out on something plan your day
or weekend carefully by checking out the specific attractions
at each garden or by sticking to one area.

TAKE YOUR TIME
Don’t rush from one garden to another, take a little time to enjoy the
features of each garden, talk to the owners and learn from them.

FOOD PITSTOPS
Check out local village cafes and restaurants so you
don’t run out of fuel while exploring the trail.

As many of the gardens are on steep and uneven ground please
make sure to wear sensible and sturdy footwear.
