Travel will return, and with it, new friendships await….
My last tours update was this past June and a lot has changed since then…the most important being that people are now getting the vaccine. This is very encouraging for all of us as we can start dreaming again. I for one am looking forward to getting mine as it will make me much more comfortable as I travel so I wait….it’s coming soon. Then hopefully airlines will gear up again and we can fly knowing we are safe. We have all learned so much about being flexible.

I have heard from people wanting to travel and asking about the tours which is so uplifting in all of this…thankyou!

Now my first tour is scheduled to go in May to Greece. Greece will start their vaccines this month. We are watching and will advise. If you are interested in this tour, please let me know so I can keep you up to date with the latest info on it. 

May is also the time for the Chelsea Flower Show Tour 2021. Chelsea this year will limit the numbers of people who attend and England is a bit iffy right now but in speaking to my ground handler I feel good…so what I need to know is that if you want to come on this tour this year, let me know. We really need to have some idea of how many show tickets we might need.  We will take names right now and as we progress through the months we will have a better idea if we can make it work safely or move it to 2022.

Then….the next three tours do not happen until September and October and by then, if all goes well, we will be in Spain, Portugal and South Africa. I do have bookings in for all three now and that makes me happy….

So….visit the tours site at www.gardeningtours.com and go through the tours. It is as simple as that and if you have any questions at all you can reach me at donna@icangarden.com

I have included my latest announcement of upcoming tours which also includes Floriade 2022. This show happens only once every 10 years and I have been to the last two of them…this will be my last. Will let you know when ready for booking. 2022 is not finished yet as far as tours go…

“I’m excited about the future of travel,” Stephanie Bishop says. “This pause has reminded people how special it is to see, explore and discover the world around us: To connect with nature, new cultures, tradition-rich destinations and the people that make each place special.”

Here are some books that you might like to source out to read while you wait … 

‘A Fine Romance’ by Susan Branch for Chelsea – this book was sent to me by two of my regular tour guests and it is delightful!

‘British Gardens in Time’ by Katie Campbell

‘Gardens of Corfu: Ancient Myth and Modern Magic (2018) by Rachel Weaving

‘Great Gardens in Spain’ by Anneli Bojstad and Eduardo Mencos

‘Reflections of Paradise: The Gardens of Fernando Caruncho’ by Gordon Taylor

The time to travel will come again, and when it does, we know we’ll appreciate it more than ever. In the meantime, stay safe and dream big about where we’ll go together when the time is right.
