"Each of the five tours I've enjoyed has been outstanding in every respect: great leadership, charming and often small hotels, excellent cuisine, and entry into lovely private homes and garden"
"Our recent Morocco tour was well organized, a wonderful itinerary, and gave us access to private gardens and local homes that would not have been otherwise possible."
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.
