Steve,

So, you must take a guided tour? Even if you stay in the gardens?

I just sent them an inquiry...so I guess I'll find out!

THANKS!

Sandie,
And then there's Nemours Mansion & Gardens for consideration... the
largest formal French garden in North America...close to Longwood and
Winterthur. Tours are guided so you'll need reservations.

Hi everyone...especially those that know the Philadelphia region...

The garden tour that I organize and lead every year (this is my 12th)
for the Master
Gardeners Society (Oakland County Michigan)...will be heading to
Philadelphia in late
July.

I plan to visit Longwood Gardens, Chanticleer, Winterthur and Morris
Arboretum.

Anything else that is a must see or do while we are there?

Are there any gardens along the way that we shouldn't miss? I also need
a garden in
Ohio and a great nursery along the way...

Do any of you have a garden you wouldn't mind sharing with 50
well-behaved,
light-treading gardeners?

Could any of you that have businesses or books to promote, donate one or
two prize or
goodie bag prizes (50) for the gardeners on the trip? We play garden
related games on
the long bus rides for great prizes. I would encourage literature to
accompany any
product, book, seeds, etc. that your company donates for their goodie
bags. Contact
me off-list if you can help us.

THANKS so much!
