Ted and Amy from IL

“The people I met were so warm, and I had a truly wonderful time. This was my first trip alone, yet I never felt lonely. While Gavin handled the essentials well, you added the special touch with your loving details. I also enjoyed spending time with Tony, and though he worked behind the scenes, I want to thank him as well. You two make a great team! That truly warms my heart.”

Patty S. from FL

“Thanks to Teresa and Tony! All the places we visited were wonderful!”

Melanie B. from NY

“It was a great trip with incredible weather. This was the only trip to England where I didn’t need my umbrella. Gavin, our guide, was amazing and very knowledgeable. I loved the location of our London hotel, right across the street from the Victoria & Albert Museum, which is my favorite. I look forward to more great trips.”

Marla W. from WI

“Loved the trip. It exceeded my expectations!”

Elaine V. from IL

“This was my first time doing a group tour, and I truly enjoyed it. I would love to know about any future tours you have. Thank you again.”

Jennifer from FL

“It was such a wonderful trip, and I loved all the gardens we chose. Teresa was great. Thank you.”

Pat from NY

“Thank you for such a wonderful tour, and we hope to participate in the Chelsea tour next year.”

Kathy from FL

“Two firsts for me… first time out of the U.S.… First tour. I don’t know how to top it! Gardens were magnificent, both large and small; dining was excellent; hotels were very nice; and the weather was a gift from God. I’m ready to go again.”

Jeannie K. from FL

“We had such a good time in England. The gardens were spectacular. My second visit to the flower show was not disappointing. I even saw Monty Don, from afar, of course. Teresa and Gavin knocked it out of the park as the best tour guides/babysitters/hand-holders we could have asked for. I’ll be ready for another tour as soon as I recover from this one.”

Teresa E. from FL

“It was terrific. The hotels were very good—nice people, easy to work with, and well-equipped. The included meals were very good. The highlight was definitely Highgrove. What a thrill it was to see the grounds of the King’s home, where he personally oversees and does the gardening and planning. I have seen him on TV working with his staff there.  And the tea we had in his lovely event room was a meal I will never forget. I absolutely adored Sissinghurst - I could live there, no problem.”

Joanne M. from FL


“I had the best time ever in Vermont! I am pretty sure our tour manager won’t forget this group for a while. I know I won’t. It was great fun! Thanks for the memories, everyone!”

L.H.

“The architecture tour with Jonathan was so educational and gave us insight into the past and the development of the city. Also, being so close to the market area was delightful.”

S.D.

“We had such a great time. How could you not have fun with a bunch of other gardening geeks?”

T.E.

“We had a great time on our Art in Bloom tour. I loved Longwood. It had been on my bucket list for 50 years. I loved all the gardens, but the last hour we spent at Chanticleer was my favorite. We spent time enjoying the terrace, the beauty of the vista, and the breeze. I’m looking forward to your offerings for next year and hope to travel with Art in Bloom again.”

R.F.

“Thank you so much for a wonderful tour. This was my first time doing a group tour, and I truly enjoyed it.”

J.B.

“Thank you for coordinating that memorable trip up to New York gardens and historic destinations. My sister and I now have a wonderful memory to share.”

J.K.

“I greatly enjoyed the coastal garden trip and Newport Garden Show. We had a great group of friendly people, so being solo was no problem. I have been inspired to work on my own gardens, planted my free tupelo tree, and put in some blue flowers (inspired by the blue garden in Newport). I also loved the sailing schooner. It was on my bucket list!”

S.W.

“We had a wonderful time! The people were joyful (all garden/nature lovers are), and the homes and gardens were so inspiring! Dinners were a wonderful time to visit with our fellow travelers! Thank you for Art in Bloom!”

A.C.

“I had a wonderful time on the recent Art in Bloom Tour. Sandy and I both loved it. I hope to celebrate my birthday on a garden tour in the future. You are so pleasant and generous to work with.”

H.D.

“Two firsts for me… first time out of the US… First tour. I don’t know how to top it! The gardens were magnificent, the large and the small; the dining was great; the hotels were very nice; and the weather was a gift. I’m ready to go again!”

Teresa and Gavin knocked themselves out being the best tour guides, babysitters, and hand-holders we could have asked for. I’ll be ready for another tour as soon as I recover from this one.”

T.E.

“What a fulfilling and amazing tour it was! Each garden was so different and unique. I enjoyed the group and especially appreciated David’s thorough guidance and knowledge. Missing England already!”

N.B.

“All the accommodations, transport, dinners, and activities were so well orchestrated. Our guide could not have been more gracious, entertaining, caring, funny, and knowledgeable about the culture and history. The tours, interactive cooking lessons, and flower arranging were beyond my expectations. The Italian people are warm and welcoming. I’ve never felt so relaxed and happy on a trip as this one. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience.”

K.S.

“Vermont is so beautiful, and the Inn at Landgrove was such a compliment to the entire experience. Tom and his staff gifted us all with their hospitality, amazing food, and places inside and outside the inn, which supported our conversations and bonding with others in our group. Our guide, Brent, and driver, Nancy, were five-star plus. I will continue to tell others about the amazing spirit of community and cooperation in the people of Vermont. I will cherish the experience forever.”
