Garden Gab Tour with Tessa and Molly

The itinerary is the starting point to your tour, but it’s not set in stone. Your group leader may make changes leading up to departure.

Day 1, Saturday June 5: Overnight Flight

Tour guests will be traveling with two garden designers who have worked in these gardens but also have translated it back home. This will take the form of bus commentary, a round table discussion over a meal or an intimate chat with a glass of wine at the end of an evening. Experiencing these gardens will be a transformative experience. and we are so excited to prepare you for what you we will see, and helping you process what you've seen afterwards with the goal of bringing all the best inspiration and ideas home.
