Some
comments that have been received so far...
'Fun filled, enjoyed extra stops in villages'
'Excellent, restaurant service very pleasant, good mix of gardens
and non garden visits'
'Excellent choice of gardens, Thanks Donna and everyone at Farlie -
you did a great job'
'A delightful tour, with many off the beaten track surprises'
'Fabulous effort by all concerned - bravo!'
'Donna, thank you for your attention to detail and inexhaustible
patience and good nature'
'Since I've never been on a trip like this, I wasn't sure what to
expect, but it has been great'
'Excellent planning and gardens'
'Very nice tour, thank you for your time and energy
'The treatment and considerations shown to us were great, excellent
coach and driver'
'Excellent garden selection'
'Enjoyable people, comfortable accommodations, good experiences..'
'Thank you for all of your efforts to make our trip memorable. It
was a great opportunity for us to meet exciting people and visit
exceptional gardens. Do you think that East Anglia will be the same
after our diverse group of garden lovers left the area?'
'The trip was the greatest! Tom and I loved it all'
Thanks again for such a great tour--Not
only was it fun, it also provided all sorts of useful info and ideas
that will be good fodder for future talks and stories. In fact, I've
written a bit about the tour in my September editorial (accompanied
by a shot of a terrified-looking me on a cherry picker at the
Hampton Court show). Lorraine Flanigan took the snap as I was being
mercifully deposited back on the ground. Yikes. |
