This post is the second in a series regarding the details of the English Garden Tour.
"Oh to be in England now that spring is here"
May 7-15, 2012
Join Lady Elaine Coleman on an adventure to South East England to view the most celebrated and interesting gardens of the country. The counties of Kent, Sussex and Surrey are known as The Garden of England. The wealthiest region since the Romans invaded. Stately Homes, world famous gardens and magnificent royal castles add to the impression of power and Royal beauty. Experience them all next May.
Quote for the day: If I am reborn, I want to be a gardener --- there is too much to do for one lifetime! Karl Foerster, garden writer, plantsman (1874-1970
Second full day of the tour is Wednesday, May 9, 2012
After our English breakfast, the day begins with a visit to one of the liveliest seaside resorts in England. Our destination is Brighton and a tour of The Royal Pavilion.
The Pavilion began in the late 18th century when the Prince Regent, later King George IV, first visited and started a trend for seaside holidays and sea bathing. The King's astonishing palace (1815-23) is an oriental extravaganza bristling with Indian-style minarets and onion-domes, surrounded by gardens.
After our tour, we then head for lunch at The Regency Restaurant, one of the best seafood, fish & chips and sea front restaurants in Brighton.
After lunch, a visit to The Lanes ... a warren of narrow streets and alleys that have smart antiques, gifts, galleries, pubs and pavement cafes. Here we have a guided tour, then free time to return for that object you might need to buy. In the late afternoon return to the hotel where the evening is free for your personal dining choice.
