The Hampton Court Flower Show, July 2012

Here's a detailed look at our Trip and Itinerary from Earthbound Expeditions for the Hampton Court Flower Show in England with Larry Meiller.

Revel in the rich history and incomparable beauty of some of England's great churches and houses along with their gardens. You'll see the cathedrals at Leeds and Canterbury, and visit the famous "White Garden" of Vita Sackville-West and Bateman's House, the wooded retreat of Rudyard Kipling. Plus, you'll spend an entire day exploring the grounds and exhibits of the Hampton Court Flower Show, the world's largest, run by the Royal Horticultural Society.

We're partnering again with Earthbound Expeditions for this trip; they work with public radio stations around the country, crafting special journeys for listeners. WPR worked with Earthbound last year for our Festive Winter Waltz Tour of Budapest, Vienna and Prague (see the link below), and our travelers appreciated their commitment to finding ways to make the trip unique and meaningful. It's also important that their trip prices are all-inclusive - no hidden costs for tours and exhibits once your journey is underway.
