I absolutely loved this adventure, this business is unique! I am selling to spend more time in our garden.
Meeting fellow gardeners is always a joy and the tours continue until Sunday 19 April 2026. So if you want to enjoy the experience, there is still a bit of time to join a tour and admire autumn colours. Florence
