Art in Bloom: Reviews

“I had the best time ever in Vermont! I am pretty sure our tour manager won't forget this group for a while. I know I won't. It was great fun! Thanks for the memories, everyone!”

“The architecture tour with Jonathan was so educational and gave us insight into the past and the development of the city. Also, being so close to the market area was delightful.”

“We had a great time on our Art in Bloom tour. I loved Longwood.  It had been on my bucket list for 50 years. I loved all the gardens, but the last hour we spent at Chanticleer was my favorite.  We spent time enjoying the terrace, the beauty of the vista, and the breeze. I'm looking forward to your offerings for next year and hope to travel with Art in Bloom again.”

“Thank you for coordinating that memorable trip up to New York gardens and historic destinations. My sister and I now have a wonderful memory to share.”

— J.K.

“I greatly enjoyed the coastal garden trip and Newport Garden Show. We had a great group of friendly people, so being solo was no problem. I have been inspired to work on my own gardens, planted my free tupelo tree, and put in some blue flowers (inspired by the blue garden in Newport). I also loved the sailing schooner. It was on my bucket list!”

“We had a wonderful time! The people were joyful (all garden/nature lovers are), and the homes and gardens were so inspiring! Dinners were a wonderful time to visit with our fellow travelers! Thank you for Art in Bloom!”

“I had a wonderful time on the recent Art in Bloom Tour. Sandy and I both loved it. I hope to celebrate my birthday on a garden tour in the future. You are so pleasant and generous to work with.”

“Two firsts for me… first time out of the US… First tour. I don’t know how to top it! The gardens were magnificent, the large and the small; the dining was great; the hotels were very nice; and the weather was a gift. I’m ready to go again!”

“We had such a good time in England. The gardens were spectacular. My second visit to the flower show was not disappointing. I even saw Monty Don, from afar, of course. Teresa and Gavin knocked themselves out being the best tour guides, babysitters, and hand-holders we could have asked for. I’ll be ready for another tour as soon as I recover from this one.”

“What a fulfilling and amazing tour it was! Each garden was so different and unique. I enjoyed the group and especially appreciated David’s thorough guidance and knowledge. Missing England already!”

— N.B.

“All the accommodations, transport, dinners, and activities were so well orchestrated. Our guide could not have been more gracious, entertaining, caring, funny, and knowledgeable about the culture and history. The tours, interactive cooking lessons, and flower arranging were beyond my expectations. The Italian people are warm and welcoming.  I've never felt so relaxed and happy on a trip as this one. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience.”

“Vermont is so beautiful, and the Inn at Landgrove was such a compliment to the entire experience. Tom and his staff gifted us all with their hospitality, amazing food, and places inside and outside the inn, which supported our conversations and bonding with others in our group. Our guide, Brent, and driver, Nancy, were five-star plus. I will continue to tell others about the amazing spirit of community and cooperation in the people of Vermont. I will cherish the experience forever.”
