Riel House was one of nine stops on the 2017 Garden Tour of the Manitoba Master Gardeners Association. There were 160 visitors, but frankly, we lost count as there were several "entrances" to the property. If the visitor did not pass by our table, they just merged into the great group of folks that enjoy gardening.
The tour started at 9 am and was scheduled to end at 4 pm. The last group of visitors at Riel House finished at almost 5 pm. Our tables and chairs set up in the Entrance Area moved at least three times during the day in order to stay in the shade and out of the direct sun. There were seven volunteers, each with their own vision of the property, who guided visitors around the site. I know that if you toured again, there would still be more things to discuss.
It was a great day people-wise and weather-wise.
