Experience the magic of the Chelsea Flower Show and explore the stunning gardens of Kent, Sussex, Oxford, and the Cotswolds. Enjoy exclusive access to renowned gardens, visit private estates, and stroll through the grounds of Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill. You’ll be enchanted by the historic gardens of Sissinghurst and Great Dixter.
Your adventure culminates in four exciting days in Oxford, where you’ll explore its illustrious university and the charming villages and gardens of the region. Join friends of the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society for a garden adventure in England this spring! Space is limited.
We hope to see you in England in 2026!
