Details

This is a perfect tour for gardeners, dabblers, or just women who love to be in gardens. We visit secret gardens, have chocolate tastings, and take a 'hidden gardens of the Royal Mile' guided walk in Edinburgh. In Glasgow, we visit their Royal Botanic Gardens (very different from Edinburgh's) and eat lunch at a place recommended by Anthony Bourdain. Heading south, we stop at Alnwick Castle Gardens to tour their Poison Garden (with a guide!) and enjoy lunch in a treehouse. From there, we go to the ancient city of York and visit the beautiful gardens of Harlow Carr. We end our tour in London seeking out gardens on top of skyscrapers, in the ruins of churches, and a medicinal herb garden created in the 1600s to train apothecaries. We spend a day at the fabulous Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and another day at the world-famous Chelsea Flower Show.

Each participant gets a year’s membership in the Royal Horticultural Society, which allows us into Members-only day at the Chelsea Flower Show and comes with a subscription to their esteemed magazine, The Garden. NOTE - BECAUSE TICKETS FOR THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW SELL OUT IN EARLY OCTOBER, THIS TOUR IS ONLY OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30TH.
