"Lee & Larry, I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful time I had on the tour in Asheville. It was breathtaking! I can't even remember when I have had such a wonderful learning experience. I was going to just have fun and see a few gardens, but it was much, much more than that. Everyone we met opened up their gardens and homes to us and made us feel very comfortable. Thanks again for a wonderful time and I can't wait to take another tour!"

You are very gracious people and fun!"

"I dreamed I went on an unreal journey to the most beautiful gardens in England during the peak of bloom with the greatest guides and nicest people. Saw castles with moats and drawbridges, palaces and pubs….Well it seems like a dream now because it went so fast and here I am back to reality and 95 F. Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the trip and your company. You do a great job."
