Past Trips

South Africa, 2007

We began in Johannesburg and visited many great gardens including Little Brenthurst. Reg (our guide) also showed us around his garden in Pretoria - Oh La La - what a garden! Then we spent 5 days in Cape Town, saw more great gardens; plus went to the Cape of Good Hope. From there, we spent 3 days tasting wines in the Stellenbosch region (it's a tough life). Finally we went on Safari at Pilansberg National Park where we saw hippos, lions, elephants and more.

Southern Italy, 2006

After visiting gardens in Rome and the Amalfi Coast, we ate some pizza in Naples; then jumped on an overnight ferry for Sicily. After a morning cappucino, we toured Palermo as it was waking up on a Sunday morning. After garden touring and market grazing, we visited the botanical garden. Then we made our way into the interior of Sicily stopping at great Greek Temples on the way. We ended up in the beautiful seaside resort town of Taormina where we said good-bye to Italy.

New York and Boston, 2005

Have you ever heard of a baseball / garden tour? I have because I led one. We landed in New York, took a harbor tour, and saw great gardens. Among the highlights was a game at Yankee Stadium where we were polite and did not boo. We traveled up through the Berkshires with more gardens on the way; plus a stop at Cooperstown (very Oh La La) to visit the baseball hall of fame. We ended the tour in Boston with a great baseball evening at Fenway Park.

and there's more! But they are not on the web yet. Keep watching if you are a traveler.
