Good morning, I never post on this list, but I want to mention that Cornell University is offering a tour in May to visit London's most beautiful gardens and the world's greatest flower show, the Chelsea Flower Show. The 2026 Gardens of London and Chelsea Flower Show tour is specifically designed for gardeners and their friends/family who love gardening, growing plants, and beautiful gardens. The tour will be held from May 17-23, 2026. This year, a very special treat is in store; we have "Members Only" tickets for the Chelsea Flower Show. This means that we can visit the show on Tuesday before it is open to the public. Crowds will be much less on a "Members Only" day. The details of the trip are on the link, but the all-encompassing tour includes: * Five days in London, plus 2 travel days; at all times you will be accompanied by an experienced guide and horticultural professional * Roundtrip airfare to/from JFK Airport in New York and London Heathrow Airport * First-class hotel accommodation at the Courthouse Hotel Soho - centrally located hotel in downtown London (http://www.courthouse-hotel.com/) * Meals: 5 breakfasts and 2 dinners (gratuities are included) * A guided tour of London on the day of arrival * Entry fees and guided tours of 3 classic public gardens, plus free time to explore on your own at Kew Botanic Garden, Hampton Court Palace & Garden, & RHS Wisley Garden * Admission to the Chelsea Flower Show on a members-only day * Complete bus transportation and shuttle service in London (gratuities included) Everyone is welcome on this garden tour! The cost of the trip includes airfare out of JFK Airport in NYCity. To reserve a seat on this trip, a deposit is due by February 15, 2026. The balance of payments is due by April 2, 2026. The registration form and more information about the tours can be found at http://www.agrotours.com/<http://www.agrotours.com/> website. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, your guide, at mpb27@cornell.edu or 631-921-4941.
