LARGE CROWD EXPECTED TO VISIT G.H. GARDENS TOMORROW

Improved arrangements have been made this year to ensure that more

residents will have an opportunity of seeing the beautiful flowers in the

gardens of Government House.

Thousands of people are expected to visit the gardens which will

be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow (Sunday).

The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose said he was very happy that the

people of Hong Kong could again have the opportunity of appreciating the

beautiful flowers which were a great credit to the Government House gardeners.

Because the number of visitors this year is expected to be even

larger than previous years, there will be no band in attendance so that there

will be a freer flow of people in the gardens.

It has also been necessary to erect temporary barriers around some

of the flower beds to protect them from the increasingly large crowds which

visit the gardens each year,
