AHS Travel-Study Program Garden Tours


We are excited to announce two exceptional travel opportunities that are coming up through our American Horticultural Society Travel Study program. In late September, we will experience the beauty and interest of the “Spring Garden Festivals in the Highlands of Australia,” and in January 2009 we will discover the “Awe-Inspiring Gardens of New Zealand.

Mary Kroening will serve as escort for both Australia and New Zealand. She has ten years of experience with garden-related travel as owner of Hidden Treasures Botanical Tours, our new AHS international travel partner. Mary has crafted the itineraries for each trip with our AHS travelers in mind, hand-selecting destinations that are unique, showcase outstanding horticulture, and offer exceptional once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

For more information about either of these travel opportunities, please contact Mary at Hidden Treasures Botanical Tours at (573) 881-6316 or info@hiddentreasuresbotanicaltours.com, or visit http://www.hiddentreasuresbotanicaltours.com/ahs.html.

For those looking for travel opportunities beyond January, please see the list below for additional upcoming international tours. We are pleased to announce that our 2009 Travel Study program will include two offerings escorted by a longtime favorite of AHS travelers - Susie Orso. We are working with Susie on excursions to the Netherlands in April and Italy in May. Watch The American Gardener magazine in the coming months for news of additional domestic travel offerings in 2009.
