England in Bloom

Garden lovers jumped at the chance to join Travel Crafter for a springtime horticultural extravaganza to England. After arriving in London, these garden lovers were treated to a private lecture from a landscape architect, historian and advisor for historic Royal Palaces and who has designed gardens for Hampton Court and Kensington Palace. A visit to the annual Chelsea Flower Show was included and is always a highlight. Over the course of the next week, the group traveled into the scenic English countryside and enjoyed cocktails in the gardens of Bowood with the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne and garden visits lead by horticultural experts or head gardeners to Great Dixter, Highgrove, and private gardens like Sissinghurst, Bury Court and Temple Guiting Manor to name a few.
