Thanks for visiting! My passion is gardens and sharing their beauty with others on my garden tours. I have worked with other tourism agencies in putting together press/media garden trips as well as specific tours for garden writers and those in the horticultural industry and new in 2010 is sharing garden related events across the U.S., Canada and abroad on www.AccuWeather.com in the Home and Garden area.
If you are in an area with incredible gardens, food, history and culture, I would love to help you promote them further by putting together tours with select garden writers.
