Really excited to be finalising details for a coach trip to Essex. Yes, it will focus on visiting gardens but we always try and include some fun extras - in this case, lunch one day will be in the attractive market town of Maldon, with its majestic Thames Barges.

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing situation with the Covid 19 virus, we have cancelled our June 2020 trip to the Rose Gardens in Normandy and will be looking to run the trip in 2021 instead. Hopefully our September coach trip to visit Dutch Gardens will be unaffected.

Happy Christmas to all our lovely friends past and present that have joined us on the 2017 trips. Brussels in April to the Royal Greenhouses and the floralia at Kasteel van Groot-Bijgarden, both pretty special and then Brittany in September. Les Jardins de Kerfouler my personal favourite but the other gardens definitely worth a visit. Plans are coming on for 2018, keep 17th - 20th May free - more detail to follow! Huge thank you to Shane and Maria Baker and all the gang at Bakers coaches for their help. Happy Christmas!
