If you’re part of a garden club, then you know the British are serious about horticulture. Gardening has a long history with garden shows and tours as popular attractions. Why not grab your gardening friends, tour wonderful gardens, and come home inspired with new ideas for your own gardens? While many people are getting ready for winter adventures currently, it’s never to early to plan for the spring!

Cornwall Gardens Tour
Beginning in March, Cornish gardens showcase beautiful Camellias and Magnolias in vibrant reds, purples, and yellows along with fantastic pastel whites and pinks. In April, millions of bluebells can be spotted in the Cornish woodlands as well as giant Rhododendrons.

In its 5th year, Scotland’s Rhododendron Festival starts April 1 and lasts through the end of May. Displays of stunning color can be seen in gardens, estates, and woodlands nationwide. The Scottish gardens on display vary in size and date from the 13th to the 20th century.
