Garden rejected by NGS-Gutted!!

[GardenDragon]

Just come on to drown my sorrows really! Two terribly nice ladies came round, had a good look at everything, seemed really interested in my garden, then at the end said thanks but no thanks! Ah well that's life, but I really thought my garden would be interesting to other people, feel a bit foolish now for even thinking it! Has anyone else had experiences with the National Garden Scheme?

I think the 45 minute rule is all down to interpretation. Clearly if you look at every plant in great detail you could make even a small garden visit last ages. Most people pick out the plants that interest them and spend a minute or so looking at them, some people maybe take in the overall effect of planting but don't need to examine anything in detail at all.
