About Tours
My organized tours… Created with an avid gardener in mind, with lots of curated private and public gardens. Garden lovers, as well as explorers of new places and experiences, will enjoy my organized garden tours as well as meeting like-minded passionate gardeners around the world. We mix it up with visits to wineries, museums, whiskey and gin tastings, and boat tours of local lakes and rivers. Going behind-the-scenes at many places with in-depth tours by head gardeners or plant breeders, we see sights that many people don’t see.
For example, we visited David Austin Roses for a special greenhouse tour to see how they come up with their luscious romantic roses. Tours of botanic gardens, grand estate gardens, research labs, charming cottage gardens, and private residences where the owners invite us into their kitchens for tea, are all part of the experience. Many of my travelers are repeat garden tour participants as they know they will come home with unforgettable memories and new friends.
