You captured it well. My usual technique for introducing myself is to ask about a plant - in this case, a variety of Agastache. Of course, after that I can't think of anything to say and beat a hasty retreat.

But I'm always so caught up in exploring their creations and taking pictures that I run out of time without talking to anyone. It's like I'm trying to soak in a day's worth of seeing the garden -- or a week's worth! -- in just 30 or 45 minutes. :) Luckily, thanks to social media, we CAN get to know the owners better that way too.
