Frank Eddy and I, Michael Collins (M&F), have been traveling to England most years since 2012. Fulfilling a desire to see all these magical gardens we've only read about was the reason for our first trip over there. But we found something much bigger. An cerebration of nature and the expression in green spaces. The UK has a land mass about 60% of California. But they have 26 million more people there. They utilize every bit of space but nature is very important to them and make it fit in everywhere. Since 2014 we have wanted to share that with our friends and colleagues back home.
This year is exciting because we got bold. We're offering three distinct tours from three very different parts of England. Yes each has beautiful folksy villages but with very distinct regional differences. We've put together a string of gardens to show the history of gardening in England; along with Botanical gardens, Royal Horticultural Society plant driven gardens, and display gardens from some of the most renown nurseries in the UK.
You can't create a beautiful garden if you have never seen one.
