Pacific Horticulture - The magazine for West Coast gardeners

Pacific Horticulture Tours

Would you like to travel with like-minded individuals to see great public gardens, exclusive private gardens, magnificent natural areas, or historic landscapes? Join a Pacific Horticulture tour to destinations around the world—or perhaps in your own back yard.

Tour groups are kept small to enhance your experience. Accommodations are in comfortable, sometimes luxurious lodgings. The local cuisine is always a feature. Tour guides are carefully selected, and there will always be an escort from Pacific Horticulture.
