Enjoy the best gardens in Europe...

For gardeners around the world, the historic gardens of Europe can offer the pinnacle of inspiration. From royal formal gardens on an unimaginable scale, to smaller, intimate gardens full of rare plants, there really is something for everyone. For those interested in the history of gardening, the great palaces show how styles have developed over the centuries. For those keen on plant varieties, some of the specialist shows can give them a chance to learn about new plants and cutting-edge botanical developments. And, for those who just love being among flowers, there are more than enough places to sit and relax, whilst absorbing the beauty of stunningly designed spaces.

Gardens of England and Wales

England is arguably the home of modern gardening and design, with the flagship event of the horticultural world taking place in May of each year - the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. A tour of the gardens of England and Wales can take your groups from ancient royal gardens to more modern examples, along with rare plant collections and wild bluebell woods. Tours can also include flower shows, workshops and talks by gardening experts, depending on the particular interests of your groups.

Gardens of France

French horticulture is dominated by the grand gardens of the chateaux, from Versailles to Chambord. However, as a counterpoint to the formal designs and huge fountains, your groups can also discover Monet's Impressionist masterpiece at Giverny and the flower markets of the Loire Valley. With some time to explore the beautiful small towns of the regions as well as shop in Paris, gardening tours to France will leave your groups inspired to create their own pieces of horticultural sophistication back at home.

Gardens of Italy

The gardens of Italy benefit from some of the best climatic conditions in Europe, and our sample tour covers the full range from the Lakes to Veneto, Tuscany to Rome. Renaissance gardens combined with gardens full of exotic planting, and even the largest tulip collection outside of Keukenhof (The Netherlands) make this a tour of contrasts and inspiration.

Gardens of delight...

"There's really nothing more quintessentially English than strolling around a beautifully manicured garden and admiring stunning blooms. At the same time, the great gardens of France exude elegance and sophistication, and Italy's parks and gardens abound with exotic species and Renaissance flair. With our sample tours and horticultural recommendations, there really is something here for every gardening tour."
