Jonny, i talked to my friend Rika and she invites you to visit her garden when you are in Holland.
You can visit her website: www.tuinfleur.nl (http://www.tuinfleur.nl)

Part of her garden is planted with shade-loving plants. She would love to meet you and your wife.

Lina.

It wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't "You're allowed to have change in your pocket but if you have in addition a handkerchief or more you will be charged three times the ticket price"
