Garden coach tours
Can anyond recommend any companies doing coach tours of gardens in
Britain or Ireland? I can no longer drive and have no means of getting to gardens. Seeing York Gate on GW this week, and Bodnant last week gave me cravings to visit some gardens in different parts of the country. Any suggestions? I'd like to do around a week visiting different gardens each day, staying in decent but not extortionate hotels. TIA Pam in Bristol |

TIA Pam in Bristol If you know which gardens you wish to visit and would like research done into others to make a nice tour, try http://www.iowtours.com/tailormade.asp Talk to Shirley Winn, Managing Director. (Have a peep at the web site) They do a terrific amount of reunions for the ex forces people and they 'care' about what YOU want. Shirley will be in on Tuesday, but you can email her on and she will reply almost straight away as she has an office at home as well. -- Mike The Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association www.rneba.org.uk Luxury Self Catering on the Isle of Wight? www.shanklinmanormews.co.uk |

We've often seen their tour groups in Tresco and they seem to be well organised with a lot cheerful and pleasant people. The impression we have is that people get to know each other oon the tours and join them often. They organise tours through the British Isles and Europe and are very well known. http://www.brigh****erholidays.com/ I believe Saga do something similar at times and there's another company called www.gardenvisit.com I don't know anything about these last two. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.

TIA York Gate is near enough to the centre of Leeds to be possibly feasible by taxi if you could get to Leeds. Buses near by too, I think. But if you got yourself to Leeds, I'd be happy to take you - it's a long time since I last visited. Harlow Carr has buses from Harrogate train station (again, I'm always happy to visit). Parcevall Hall is also in the area but a bit more tricky to access. -- Kay |

Why not ask your local club if they do them? Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Janet, our gardening club do day trips, but not holidays. I'm looking to get to gardens further afield, outside the Bristol area. I'll look up those suggested. I don't drive, and because of my sight problems am not confident about travelling alone. An escorted coach trip would be just what I want. Thanks again. Pam in Bristol |
