Gardens and Flower Shows

Enjoy the open spaces of London and get lost in The Hampton Court Palace Maze before spending an unforgettable day at the Chelsea Flower Show. Then, visit many of the famous and historic gardens that help give Kent the title "Garden of England. Like all our tours this one can be easily adapted to perhaps avoid the busy time of Chelsea or to include specialist visits to places such as the headquarters of The Royal Horticultural Society in Surrey, The Beth Chatto Garden in Essex or any of the smaller gardens available via The Red Cross, NGS or Yellow Book Charities. 

This sample is based on The Royal Horticultural Society London Orchid and Botanical Art Show, that in Spring features beautiful displays of early blooms and specialist orchid growers from around the globe. Other sample botanical shows that we can help with include those at Malvern, Floriade, Tatton Park, Hampton Court, Cardiff and many more in Great Britain and the rest of Europe.

This particular tour is a sample of what we have arranged in Northern France and particularly associated with The Courson Flower Show. Naturally we can assist with other regions of Europe and can assist in tours in conjunction with any other plant or flower show in Europe, including of course Floriade. On this sample visit Parisian parks and gardens in amongst the Paris landmarks. See Versailles and Monet’s garden before heading to the French coast and the Normandy beaches. Enjoy The Loire Valley and several Chateaux gardens before ending with the Courson Flower Show.

A sample tour especially designed for garden lovers with some real classic gardens both large and small. Discover some of the fascinating collection of gardens and garden landscapes of South West England on this slowly paced tour. Specialist tours are also available based on specific plants, plants men and plants women and garden types of all sorts including those open for charity are available on request as are tours of other regions of England, Scotland, Ireland and Continental Europe.
