Gardens of Pacific NorthwestTour
 The Pacific Northwest is a wonderful gardening community with many world-class gardens. Our tour has an Asian flavour and starts in Seattle, one of America's best cities and the one I love most of all. This tour explores some of the finest gardens of the West coast and includes the Northwest Flower and Garden Show held in February each year. I have been involved in the show for over 5 years. We then go north to Vancouver, Canada to see some spectacular gardens. We stay at the four star Hotel Sheraton in Seattle on a room only basis and the Hotel Metropolitan on a room only basis. We can book breakfast in advance.
