“I want to thank you for all you do to make these trips so wonderful. I enjoyed so much, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Cloisters.” KM

THANK YOU for planning a great trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show. It was my first time there and it was truly amazing!!! Both the flower show and the trip to Longwood Gardens gave me some inspiration. It was a nice group of people, the accommodations and meals at the hotel were top notch. Great trip! Kudos to both of you!!!  JD

Join us this summer for The Hydrangea Festival on Cape Cod

Let’s go on a new bus trip!

Sun, sand, surf an sharks (just kidding)! Everyone knows that hydrangeas grow the best on Cape Cod. Each year the communities on the Cape celebrate these beautiful plants. We will visit two private gardens. These are recommended by a Cape Cod garden insider. One of these gardens is called “The biggest half acre on Cape Cod, full of amazing plants”. We will also check out the hydrangea test garden and grounds at the Heritage Museum and Gardens. It has a huge selection of hydrangeas and is a world renown test garden for new hydrangea varieties.

We will also visit Highfield Hall and Gardens https://highfieldhallandgardens.org/

We will also be visiting the private garden of George and Marcia Chapman. “Marcia and I have recently retired from the horticulture industry after both being in it for over fifty years each. During that time we managed large retail garden centers and growing facilities and as buyers we were privy to all the new varieties coming down the pike! Our property is only half an acre, but we have used it well. I call it the biggest half acre on Cape Cod.”-George Chapman
