For 2019, we are very excited about our offerings--both home and abroad. In April, Sicily is our destination. May brings a return to one of our very favorite tours--Spain and Portugal. In mid-summer, Ireland is calling us back for an exclusive tour of gardens and scenery. September takes us to the Pacific Northwest and our travel year rounds out with the tropical paradise, Costa Rica.
While some of the information below is still preliminary, it should help you plan your garden touring for 2019!

Gardens of Sicily April 9-19, 2019 Our tour begins in Cantania and ends in Palermo, while along the way stopping in beautiful private gardens, walking through medieval villages, and exploring ancient Roman and Greek ruins. Then we fly to the Bay of Naples to visit La Mortella, a fantastic garden on the Island of Ischia. Sicily is calling. Answer the call! |
Gardens of Spain and Portugal May 10-24, 2019 A rich mix of cultures awaits us in Spain and Portugal as we visit the cities of Mardrid, Toledo, Granada, Seville, Cordoba, and Lisbon, as well as some remarkable villages in between. We see extraordinary gardens, walk through UNESCO historic sites, and enjoy tapas where it was invented. Come bathe in the warm sun as we spend two weeks exploring Iberia. |
