To be singled out by the world’s most respected horticultural institution as sole provider of their gardening holidays is a recognition of which we are justly proud.

Our close relationship and exchange of knowledge with the RHS and its horticultural experts ensures that we have a most exciting and up to date garden holiday programme.

More and more of our tours are now being led by RHS Head Gardeners and associate horticultural experts – for they are the alchemists that sprinkle their magic over your holiday choice. They make the tours come alive with their plant knowledge, sense of humour, help, advice and patience. That is why they are there, in order that you get the most out of your holiday.

For 2012 we have a wonderful collection of RHS affiliated horticulturalists and garden experts who will be escorting a selection of tours at home and abroad including :-
