Canterbury Horticultural Society has been organising tours for 20 years and has established a high reputation for their quality.
Garden tours are a popular activity of the society. They are often sold out as soon as they are announced. Tours are supported by the members of the society, but non-members are welcome.
The tour programmes are informative, inspiring and also a great deal of fun.
- Wonderful garden holidays with carefully selected accommodation and comfortable coach travel.
- Travel with a group with shared interests in nature, gardens and gardening. This is a great basis for making many new friends.
- Pre tour familiarisation and informative get togethers.
- Post tour reunions which are always looked forward to – as well as sharing those photographic memories.
