Do you have a dream garden Vacation?

by

Fellow gardeners – Have you ever thought about dream garden related vacations? Where would you love to go to tour botanical gardens or tropical jungle vegetation? Oops I think I just gave away my own dream garden vacation dreams.

Yes, I’d love to go to Costa Rica or similar places and take a jungle tour to see the birds, animals and luscious tropical plants. I’d come away drooling as I’d know that in my cool climate I’d never be able to grow anything like the plants and flowers I’d see on that trip.

Another dream vacation would be to go to England. Probably London England first. I’d want to visit as many Traditional English gardens as I could as well as some of the Royal Botanical gardens. I’m certain that I’d be able to grow some of the plants that I’d see on that trip.

If I’m not mistaken I think London is fairly expensive, well seeing as their pound is more than twice the value of our dollar it is, so I’d be looking for some Cheap Hotels in London . Nothing tacky or dirty – something nice but inexpensive. OMG I’m remembering some of the English movies and series that I’ve seen where you have a room but the washroom, or water closet as they call it, is shared by all of the residents of a floor. Ok so not that kind of London Hotels. Uh huh.

Obviously I haven’t done any research into this at all. I’m sure if I take a trip to England it will be a few years from now. I don’t even know if it would be best to stay in London to see some beautiful gardens or if there is a better area of England where most of the top gardens to visit would be. Perhaps someone could tell me. It wouldn’t hurt to start gathering information for my future dream trip.

Oh and if anyone has been to London – yes it would still be on the agenda even if all of the best gardens are on the other side of England – I’ve gotta see London! Perhaps you could recommend some nice Hotels in London that my husband and I could stay at? Something nice, close to the famous London attractions – but not very expensive.

Would anyone care to tell me what your dream garden vacation would be? Do you favor a particular type of garden? If you do where would you want to go to see the best of your favorite kind of garden?






Dream Trip

by

As a gardener or nature lover, I was wondering if you have a dream vacation place that you’d love to visit some day?

One of my dream vacations would be to visit Costa Rica.

I’d enjoy taking one of the Eco-Jungle tours. As some of you might know, I am fascinated by reptiles and I’ve had several as pets over the years. Costa Rica has an abundance of exotic wildlife from reptiles, to primates, to some of the most beautiful birds you’ve ever seen. I’d love to go with my camera and see as many animals and birds as I could. The jungle and all of the unique plants within it would be amazing as well.

I found the Costa Rica Forum, recently and I think I might spend some time on it learning more about the Country and the kinds of things that I can do when I eventually take my dream vacation in Costa Rica. I will go too – believe me. I’ve been dreaming about this for at least 10 years.
