May 23 – May 30, 2023

Sponsored by Alice Longfellow and Special Group Tours

Visit the world-famous Chelsea Flower Show on members-only day, tour 11 iconic gardens in the area known as The Garden of England (counties of Kent and Sussex). Finish the tour at Alice’s favorite English garden, RHS Wisley in Surrey. We will see Great Dixter and Sissinghurst, along with other well-known spots.

Special Group Tours allows us to go beyond the usual tourist route in our mini-coach, off the beaten track where impersonal big buses can’t go. Your multi-talented driver and tour guide will fill in each touring day as time permits, with visits to some local gems, participants in the National Gardens Scheme, and gardens open for charity.

Maybe discover the next ‘Big Thing’ at the Chelsea Flower Show?!

A major benefit to this tour is the annual membership in the Royal Horticultural Society, which is the premiere UK gardening organization. Membership offers a host of benefits including a garden magazine full of gardening advice.

This is a small group tour and is limited to 14 guests.

8 Days, 7 Nights – $3,800 tour price (double occupancy). Travel costs not included.
