Travel with me to Floriade, 2012

**N* S* <n*@plantsoup.com>**

Hi All

There are a few spots left on the trip I am leading to Floriade, the World's Fair of horticulture, May 4-13, 2012

On this 10-day trip, we visit the horticultural hotspots of Holland and Belgium, including two full days at Floriade World Horiticultural Expo.

What's Floriade?  Glad you asked!

Floriade is the International World's Fair for the horticultural world. It is the biggest international flower and garden show.   A multitude of countries participate, each bringing their horticultural Best of Show.  

And, Floriade is held only once every ten years. 

Meg McComb is a photographer who traveled to Floraide in 2002, can't wait to go again.  She reserved her spot right away.  Meg wrote to me about her last trip: 

I believe the whole country (Holland) is a breathing garden quilt. It really does not matter where we go, public or private----it will be glorious.

I came home in '02 with 35, 36 exposure rolls of film, (remember digital was still in it's brief youth). This time I'm going with two cameras an three lenses and at least 4-8 gig cards. I bet I spend the bus ride back to the hotel deleting like a mad woman anyway!

Meg won't be disappointed, and neither will you.  I've carefully customized the itinerary for garden lovers:  garden writers, garden designers, horticulturists, florists -- people like all of us. 

And I've made sure that we get plenty of time in each location.  None of that "Our bus will be boarding in 20 minutes" stuff on this trip!

Here's a link to the itinerary

Here's a link to the reservation form

Please return the reservation form by October 10th to be sure you have a spot on the bus (next to Meg if you'd like)....

If the links fail, everything is posted on my home page, www.PlantSoup.com

Questions?  Lemme know!
