A Rare Opportunity – a Garden Tour to Sweden with Allan Armitage
Garden travel to exotic places in the world is something we dream about and I am indeed fortunate; every year I take a group of gardeners somewhere to visit gardens. I have been doing this for over 20 years and people who have traveled with me before generally fill it up–so rapidly that no one else gets a chance.
This year, I am taking a trip to Sweden and we actually have a few places still open. We see fabulous gardens, hang out with people as crazy as we are and simply have a ball. Attached are the itinerary and details; if you wish to join us, look it over, fill in the contract and send it in right away. I can only give you 1 week to make up your minds, as we need to finalize the trip very soon. If you would like to join this tour, please send contracts to Garden Vistas 120 Woodland Way, Athens, GA, 30606 by March 16th. We shall fill the places according to the order in which the contracts are received.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Allan
