Where do our garden variety plants such as pelargonium, tomatoes, and tulips actually come from? Tracing the origins of many household name plants reveals an interesting history that can be better understood and appreciated by visiting the natural habitats where they are endemic. Explore the universe of flora across the globe from the lilies of the Incas, Alstroemeria, to the Baobabs of Botswana and Madagascar to the rhododendron of the Himalaya’s forests.
I have designed trips for groups such as the National Tropical Botanical Gardens and the Oregon Hardy Plant Society,
as well as individuals. Here are a few examples (Amazon Cruises, Madagascar & South Africa…) to inspire you on your botanical adventure into the world of plants. Contact me. I’m excited to transform your dream trip into a reality.
