GLORIOUS GARDENS OF ENGLAND, WALES AND SCOTLAND


Lyburnum ArchIf you have always promised yourself that "someday" you would find the right way to explore the beautiful countryside, historic towns and picturesque villages of England, that day has come. The essence of Britain is to be found in its historic towns and tiny villages, nestled among some of the loveliest countryside in the world.


Few British institutions - the football match, the back garden, and a "nice cup of tea" are as important as the garden. On our English garden tours, you will see gardens made famous on television, grand gardens that have developed over the centuries, and even small, private gardens, very much the domain of their owners. Most days you will enjoy at least two gardens with an expert.

Treat your senses to the truly fantastic array of sights and smells around Great Britain's gardens, from grand designs attached to stately homes to the secret delights and private passions of many individuals' more modest homes. Full days out, escorted by expert plantsmen or women, take in a mix of these. You don't need to know a lot, because the tours are relaxed, very sociable affairs that you can enjoy at any level. Cornwall is our most popular destination, with opportunities to see the amazing Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Bosvigo and many other sub tropical gardens.

Further north, the Duchess of Northumberland has something very interesting going on with the Alnwick Garden. You may also want to take in some major flower shows at Tatton Park or Hampton Court. You'll need to be fit enough to spend all day on your feet visiting sometimes large gardens, but there's plenty of time to recover and socialize in the evenings back at superb get away from it all Country Houses in glorious countryside!

Chelsea Flower Show has been the world's leading horticultural event since the first show in 1913 when gardeners from the large private estates created brilliant displays. Today, you will be able to marvel at an international collection of magnificent blooms and perfect specimen trees alongside an astonishing range of exhibition gardens. The Grand Marquee contains over 3 acres of plants and flowers of every description, smaller tents are devoted to floral art and garden design, while the full scale gardens are outside. Whether you go for inspiration, or gardening advice, the Chelsea Flower Show is an unforgettable experience.

In addition to the Flower Show, our tour visits the magnificently manicured garden of Sissinghurst. Created by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson and later enhanced under National Trust ownership, it has come to represent the pinnacle of gardening excellence. We also enjoy the gardens of Scotney Castle, which surround a 14th century moated medieval castle.


Meet us at the Philadelphia Flower Show . We can be found at the Ireland stand.

Flower stamps Day 1. Sat. May 22 Arrival. Meet at Gatwick Airport at 10AM, for a group transfer, or make your own way to the Donnington Manor Hotel. Donnington Manor Hotel, nestling in the heart of the Kent countryside at the foot of the North Downs. 15th century style manor house set in quiet village location. Gym Jacuzzi Indoor Pool. Time to relax and meet your fellow travelers at dinner.

Day 2 Sun. May 23 Visit Great Dixter House and Garden - The Manor of Dixter is first noted in 1220 and structural additions were made again in 1464. In 1910 the English architect Edwin Lutyens restored the house and designed the gardens. Completing the whole picture was an important aspect of Lutyen's designs, and once the residential part of the scheme had taken shape he concentrated on the layout of the gardens, cleverly incorporating the original outbuildings to knit all the elements together. This is a cottage garden on a large scale. The owner is well known gardening writer and lecturer Christopher Lloyd. An internal tour of Great Dixter takes in the impressive 15th century great hall, one of the largest surviving timber-framed halls in the country, the cosy low-ceilinged parlour, and the spacious first floor solar. Other rooms are shown to the public when Christopher Lloyd is not using them. There is a surprising and refreshing mix of decorative styles, illustrating that both old and modern can live comfortably together without creating a gaudy mish mash. (B)

Day 3. Mon. May 24 Wisley Garden R.H.S. Glasshouse at Wisley- Today, we visit the showplace of the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley. The RHS Bicentenary Glasshouse, a huge cathedral-like glass structure covers an area equal in size to 10 tennis courts and rise to 12m (40ft) in height. It will have three climatic zones, recreating tropical, moist-temperate and dry-temperate habitats.Wisley Garden offers wooded slopes with masses of rhododendrons and azaleas, wild daffodils and an alpine meadow - British gardening at its best in all aspects. This is the 'Mecca' to many gardeners. The garden delights and inspires in any season of the year. It is full of ideas and information. There is always part of the garden at its best. The shop offers as large a collection of books on gardening as anywhere in the world. Here is a wonderful chance to buy gifts to take home. (B)


Day 4. Tue. May 25 AM - You begin at Leeds CastleLeeds Castle, built in the center of a lake described by Lord Conway as the "loveliest in the world". Surrounded by landscaped gardens, it became known as "Lady's Castle", because of the number of Queens of England who occupied it. At Sissinghurst you see the most beautiful garden in England, created by Vita Sackville-West and her husband, Harold Nicholson. Next is the aromatic garden around a slender brick-built castle tower - Sissinghurst is surely the best known and most copied garden in the world. (B)


Day 5. Wed. May 26 Nymans Garden We visit Nyman's Gardens, with its 30 acres of plants from all over the world. Nyman's has an extensive collection of rare trees, shrubs and plants. A 'theatrical' garden design full of variety, surprises and delight, Nymans is one of the great gardens of the Sussex Weald, internationally known for its beauty, atmosphere and collection of rare and important plants. There are wonderful views over the Sussex countryside towards the South Downs. Dinner at your hotel. (B)

Scotney GardensDay 6. Thu. May 27AM - Visit the Scotney Castle Garden and Estate. The moated 14th century medieval castle and landscape of Scotney together make this one of England's most romantic places. The view from the Bastion, just below the formal terraces of the "new" Scotney Castle, takes in the glorious colors of Ghent azaleas in late spring. In the autumn, golden tulip trees and crimson liquid ambers take center stage against a back cloth of parkland and woodland which are part of the 770 acre Scotney Estate. Brilliant displays of azaleas, rhododendron and calico bush (Kalmia latifolia), wonderful walks through 770 acre estate. Travel to London (B)

Day 7. Fri. May 28 AM - THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOWYou have a full day to explore the show. Getting there early will give you time to see the show and perhaps to leave in mid-afternoon to do some final last minute shopping at nearby Harrods. (CB)

HAMPTON COURT GARDEN TOUR WITH VISITS TO TUDOR PALACES, AND COTSWOLDS GARDENS
Please Note: Because of the impossibility of knowing a year in advance exactly what the state of any garden will be we reserve the right to visit alternative gardens to those listed following up to date advice from local guides. This policy ensures that clients only see those gardens which are in their prime at the time of the tour.

Priced at $3495 and including accommodations, breakfasts, arrival airport transfers, sightseeing, garden entrance fees, motorcoach with your expert guide, taxes and service charges.


 Our travel tip for Self Drive garden lovers is to look for charity “Garden Open” schemes . For a small charge you can visit private gardens and very often chat with owners or head gardeners (often they’re the same person!) – a great way to pick up gardening hints or see behind the scenes. http://www.ngs.org.uk/search1.htm
http://www.gardensofscotland.org/

Our Garden tours can be customized for each individual group of 8 or more. Some suggestions: In designing garden tours, we aim for a mixture of garden design as well as interesting historical associations of people and places. Amateur photographers have great opportunities to practice their skills on famous architectural sights and country scenes. Visits are interspersed with free time to pursue your own interests such as shopping and sightseeing.

Click here:

Alnwick Garden Come and see history in the making; at completion, the Duchess of Northumberland's ambitious grand design of the Alnwick Garden will rival the greatest gardens in the world, and is already unique in England and Europe. On other days we take in some of the area's best public and private gardens. These may include Cragside House, near Morpeth, a garden built on the grand scale with a precipitous rockery, Belsay Hall, and Wallington, with its superb walled garden created in 1760. Staying at Nether Grange on a Full Board basis. You'll be based in our fine Country House hotel, Nether Grange, in the quiet harbour village of Alnmouth, in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Eden Project and Cornish Gardens Spend a full day marvelling at the Eden Project, whose architecture of biomes is amazing in itself, which aims to further the understanding of the world’s plant resources. They contain plants from the rainforests, the Mediterranean, South Africa and California, and there is extensive outdoor planting, too. On the remaining days we take in the best of other Cornish Gardens; perhaps Trengwainton or Lanhydrock and Bosvigo in the summer holidays, a very English garden constructed as a series of outdoor rooms. In the Autumn, Trebah is also a must, a garden in a south-facing valley running down to the estuary and planted with many plants brought back by early plant explorers from Japan and the Far East. The immaculate, modern garden for all seasons Pine Lodge also features. Chy Morvah, a characteristic seaside hotel, stands within a short walk of the centre of St Ives, a delightful resort town with a maze-like old fishing quarter. A superb sandy beach, Cornwall's Tate Gallery and the former studio of sculptor Barbara Hepworth are all within walking distance. Some of the finest walking on the Cornish coast begins to the west of the town. Most rooms have sea views, and the acre of gardens includes a sheltered lawn and mature trees.

Bibury CotswoldsCotswold Garden Tours The Cotswolds, with its enchanting villages and traditions, provides many gardening highlights. Green rolling hills. Ancient tracks. Stately homes.. Golden-stone villages and market towns. Meadows and woodland. Famous cottage scenes. The heart of England.

We have also scheduled Hidcote Gardens, Chipping Campden (National Trust); one of the Trust's most popular gardens, and two arboretums; Westonbirt, one of the world's finest tree and shrub collections, and Batsford, designed and planted in the 1880's. Staying at Harrington House on a Full Board basis. Harrington House, of considerable architectural interest, dates from Tudor times and was enlarged during 1730-40, and again in the 1920's. Built of Cotswold Stone it is quietly tucked away just 100 yards from the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water. This is one of the showpiece villages of the Cotswolds, with its green bisected by the clear waters of the Windrush. There are banks, shops, cafes and a model village and railway in the town.

Derbyshire Garden Tours Spend a few days getting to know some of the best public and private gardens in Derbyshire. We plan to see Renishaw Hall, home of the Sitwell family for over 350 years and with a beautiful Italianate garden, park and lake. Its herbaceous and mixed borders peak in July. We'll also visit the world-famous Cascades at Chatsworth, where the Bonsall Brook runs through a 4-acre garden set on many levels and surrounded by mature trees, high cliffs and banks. You'll be based in our fine Country House hotel, Newton House, set in two acres of land in the Peak District National Park above Dovedale in the Derbyshire Dales

Lake District Garden Tours May is the perfect time of year to visit Muncaster Castle where extensive plantings of rhododendrons should be in spectacular flower, and stunning views of Eskdale can be had from the Terrace garden. Amongst other visits we also include a visit to Sizergh Castle, with its famous rockery, lakes and limestone grassland studded with orchids.

We will also explore the extremes of a thin-soiled garden on the chalk downs at Highdown followed by the classic Wealdon garden of Nymans, where ericaceous plants thrive. You'll be based in our fine Country House hotel, Abingworth Hall beside its own lake in 8 acres of parkland in Abingworth on the South Downs.

Gardens of WalesNorth Wales Garden Tours With a climate softened by the surrounding sea and plenty of humidity, we see some wonderful gardens, public and private, famous and less well-known, and the added bonus of a background of the wonderful mountain scenery. Highlights include the famous garden of Bodnant in the Conwy Valley. 80 acres include the lily terrace, stepped pergola, formal terraces with lovely herbaceous borders, roses, clematis, of course the famous Laburnam Arch, which we hope will be out at the time of our visit.

Also included will be visits to Coleton Fishacre, the D’Oyly Carte family’s ‘Arts and Crafts’ garden near Dartmouth, and the historical garden at Killerton, where the 18th-century nurseryman John Veitch began his career.

Moorlands stands high up in the moor close to Haytor Rocks, one of the best known natural features in the Dartmoor National Park. Superb walks start from the front door. Occupying 12 acres of grounds, it has sweeping views over the rolling Devon countryside and towards the coast. Moorlands is set well back from the B3387 between Widecombe in the Moor and Bovey Tracey. The Country House's setting inspired Agatha Christie to write her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, whilst staying at the house.
