From The Gardens

We’ve been traveling to visit gardens for over a decade now.   Based in central New York, we have visited the many fabulous botanical gardens, nurseries, and private and public gardens within our reach. The garden trips are generally just one over-night, and we usually do more than just tour beautiful gardens. Read more about the Perennial Traveler Garden Trips.
