Besides gardening and besides dogs, I love to travel. Lucky for me, I often combine travel and gardens and end up on some great adventures. Now, if only I could figure out how to sneak my dogs into the plane, I'd be set!
My most recent trip that I hosted was to South Africa in October, 2007. What an adventure! We began in Johannesburg and visited many great gardens including Little Brenthurst. Reg (our guide) also showed us around his garden in Pretoria - Oh La La - what a garden! Then we spent 5 days in Cape Town, saw more great gardens; plus went to the Cape of Good Hope. From there, we spent 3 days tasting wines in the Stellenbosch region (it's a tough life). Finally we went on Safari at Pilansberg National Park where we saw hippos, lions, elephants and more. Check out some of my pictures from South Africa.
Nothing is currently planned for 2008. I may possibly lead a tour to Southern France in Fall of 2009.
