England
All days are carefully constructed to balance beautiful gardens with historical fact and allegory, amusing anecdotes in an informal group setting. Each day is packed with superb gardens, a great lunch and the opportunity to meet with like-minded garden enthusiasts from all over the world.
Let Franki McCabe and British Garden Tours show you some of the enchanting gardens of the British Isles. The gardens of Britain, unsurpassed for their beauty and variety, are a continual source of pleasure and surprise. Thanks to the benign influence of the Gulf Stream, the gardens of Western Scotland enjoy very mild weather. Logan Botanic Garden is planted with semi-tropical tree ferns, cabbage palms (Cordyline australis) and many rare and exotic plants from the southern hemisphere. These conditions contrast sharply with southeastern England where Beth Chatto has created a 20th century garden that flourishes in low rainfall and chilly easterly winds.
