From the plant bedecked stone cottages in southwestern England to 11 unique gardens in Devon, Cornwall and the Cotswolds, Joanne Pearson will take you on a visually stunning garden tour of this charming region of the UK. Among our stops are England’s only surviving rococo garden, the wonderfully integrated sculpture garden at the Barbara Hepworth Museum and subtropical gardens in Cornwall. We’ll visit Hidcote, one of the best-known and most influential Arts and Crafts style gardens in the UK and the remarkable Eden Project.

A handout with a map and list of the featured gardens will be provided.
