Hi Kris,

Steve and I will be taking a group to visit English Gardens and ending with a visit to the Chelsea Garden show. I thought I would send the information about this out to garden clubs who we have had some contact with so they could have an early chance at booking if they are interested since numbers are limited. Bwlow are the details if you would like to get this out to your club members. People can also check out Steve's blog for the details. http://communities.canada.com/vancouversun/blogs/inthegarden/archive/2010/02/04/come-with-me-on-a-tour-of-english-gardens-and-visit-to-the-chelsea-flower-show.aspx

Thanks,

The tour begins in London, leaving May 16 and returning to Vancouver May 28. It includes accommodation at three and four star hotels in London and through the West Country, Cornwall and Cotswolds and back to London for the Chelsea Flower Show.

The gardens and special places of interest we will be visiting include Wisley Gardens, Stonehenge, Stourhead, Hestercombe, Lost Gardens of Heligan, The Eden Project, Hadspen, Trebah, Glendurgan, Kiftsgate, Hidcote Manor Garden, Oxford Botanical Gardens, and the Chelsea Flower Show.

The cost is $2,942 including bed & breakfast every night, all transfers and all entry fees but not including air fare.  Air fare is available for $499 plus taxes of $464.35.

The recommended flight times are as follows:

DEP FLIGHT: TS874 16MAY10 YVR INTL 13:40 LGW STH 07:30

RET FLIGHT: TS871 28MAY10 LGW STH 12:25 YVR INTL 14:40

We have limited space for no more than 40 people. 

I think this will be a very exciting trip with wonderful experiences in many fabulous places. I am sure you will love the Cornish and West Country gardens as well as the ones in the Cotswolds, Oxford and London and, of course, Chelsea is something everyone should see at least one in their life.
