David Whiting (CMG Coordinator) with his side kick Jeffry de Jong (manager, Abkhazi Gardens) are on the road again leading a great garden tour to see the gardens of The Netherlands, including Floriada. Being Dutch, Jeff is really excited about going to his homeland!
Held only once every ten year, Floriada, the World Horticultural Exhibition, is the leading showcase for Dutch horticulture with over 100 exhibitors pay tribute to horticulture. Covering a vast area of specialty landscaped woodland near Venlo in the province of North Limburg, Floriade 2012 comprises five separate areas linked by a tree lined avenue. Each area has its own theme which is described in detail in the tour itinerary.
In addition to Floriade, we will tour spectacular private and public gardens, including the world famous Keukenhof, the bulb grower's magnificent display of different tulips, daffodil, and hyacinth varieties where over 7 million bulbs are planted annually.

Tour dates April 20-29, 2012, (depart USA on April 19th).
