Welcome |
|
It was good to see so many of you spending time at last week’s virtual Chelsea Flower Show. In case you missed it, as the link is still there (see my top story), cut and paste it for your gardening contacts and use it to start a conversation about a customised UK tour in late May 2021.
Then take a closer look at the five different tours I’ve highlighted and let’s talk further about one that’s caught your eye.
Finally, as my Inside Track is for travel agents only, please resist the temptation to send it to customers.

Virtual Chelsea 2020 Revisited |

With your enthusiasm fired, turn it to good account by promoting one of these pre/post Chelsea tours for May 2021.

Ablaze With Colour |
|
Regular readers will be familiar with my travel less, see more mantra and this pre-Chelsea programme is another perfect illustration. Based in the seaside city of Brighton during its internationally renowned music and arts festival it also includes several short hops to a fascinating selection of world-class gardens that will be at their peak in May.

The Renowned Garden At Leonardslee |
|
Set in a tranquil Sussex valley and arguably England’s finest woodland garden, a series of seven lakes reflect the spectacular colourful display of rhododendrons, azaleas, camelias and magnolias that surround them. Keeping the grass mown, eco-friendly wallabies whose ancestors have been here since 1889. In addition, their Dolls House Museum provides a magical world in miniature. |

A Pageant Of English Gardens |
|
It’s a 1-hour journey from LHR to the university city of Oxford, gateway to the Oxfordshire Cotswolds for a tour that includes Blenheim Palace, Capability Brown’s showpiece garden and the stunning art collection at Waddesdon Manor. I’ve added at least one privately-owned garden opening as part of the National Garden Scheme and a couple of pubs. |
