Bloom’s Bressingham Garden Bloom’s Bressingham Garden Tours
June 3–10, 2013

What if an English Garden tour allowed you to get your hands dirty? Award-winning English plantsman Adrian Bloom is combining the education of travel with time learning and doing in his gardens. Enjoy two days of hands-on instruction with Bloom at his 17-acre Bressingham Gardens. The gardens include dramatic combinations for all-season color with nearly 8000 species and cultivars. Also see both private works of passion and large, public estates, all while enjoying four-star accommodations and engaging activities each day. That variety is designed to let a traveling gardener learn something about English gardens that still applies in a Colorado climate. Here is the itinerary.

Price for land package is $3,000 per person based on double occupancy.
