I was thinking about this last night and I seem to remember being told
about 
the "Beware of the Dog" signs on gates. THAT is a warning and an admission

that you have a dangerous dog :-(

By you putting warning signs up, it shows that you KNOW some of your
plants 
are dangerous, but you are still opening up your garden!!!!

I think a warning put out by the organisers on the line of 'Please
remember 
that you are entering private gardens. Please respect the sights and
sounds, 
appreciate them and don't touch. You are entering these gardens at your
own 
risk and neither the organisers of this event nor the householders take
any 
form of responsibility'

Now if you intend to open every weekend and charge a fee .................

well, different matter.

Just my thoughts on it. Someone will no doubt shoot me down in flames.
