I know this is either a permutation or a combination problem. i just don't know which to use? I'm not really sure if order matters here.
20 C 12= or 20 P 12?

Visiting the Buchardt Gardens in April produces a different calendar than if you visited the Buchardt Gardens in May. So I would say yes, order definitely matters.
