I hope you enjoy my very short recap of this
tour ... the weather, the group and the gardens were so good this year...and as usual,
we have included extras in our tour that are not on the official itinerary. We
always try to include as much as we can so that you can feel the country and what it has to offer. A truly beautiful
country ... The tour this year had us in London for the first few days and then
out to the country for the balance of the tour, to see the wonderful gardens of the
Cotswolds. Our first night together, we enjoyed meeting our guide, Hilda
Matthews, each other and Art Drysdale even popped in - he was here for the show,
as well as Laura Grant and her husband. They are very involved with the Rhododendron Society of Canada and
were on there way to another country. The next morning we headed off to Wisley and then to Windsor
where some of us visited the Castle and others wandered around the town or down
to see Eton, where the college is ... a wonderful day spent!
