"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."

Join us for a fabulous trip to Victoria BC-the "City of Gardens." The mild climate is perfect for year-round gardening. The city boasts numerous heritage gardens, lampposts hanging with exuberant baskets of flowers, and a picturesque harbor. Our three-night visit is timed for the peak blooming period. We will explore Abkhazi, Glendale and Royal Roads Gardens, and enjoy coveted invitations to private gardens where we will chat with the owners. We'll discover what innovative gardeners have created on this lush island. Our weekend includes a stroll through a natural meadow of three-hundred-year-old Garry oaks with photographer Allan Mandell, followed by his fascinating slide lecture that evening. Our first class hotel is ideally situated near restaurants and shops. Optional visit to Butchart Gardens.
