English Literary Garden Tours  

    Imagine strolling through Jane Austen's garden with the head gardener ..... taking a private tour of the garden that inspired Frances Hodgson Burnett to write The Secret Garden ...... and visiting Sissinghurst, home of the most-copied garden in the world.

    You'll enjoy all this and more by joining tour leader Carol Chernega for a tour of her favorite literary gardens.  Visiting the homes and gardens of your favorite English writers will give you added insight into their writing and provide an added dimension to your enjoyment of their books.  

    Here's what past participants have said about our tours:

    "It was a delightful trip, very well organized.  We all profited from your familiarity with England."  Marian E.

            "I don't know how you could improve this vacation except by issuing new feet each day!"  Sandy C.

What you should know about our English Tours:

bulletWe arrange private events not available on the usual group tour
bulletDaily events are usually limited to two per day.  This way you'll have plenty of time to enjoy each garden, rather than feeling rushed.
bulletThe tour is organized by Carol Chernega, but the travel arrangements and garden visits will be booked by a British travel agent. An American travel agent will handle payments and plane reservations for those leaving from America.
bulletCarol Chernega is your personal tour leader.  Carol has traveled to England 15 times in the past twelve years. Several of those trips were devoted to researching her forthcoming book, A Dream House: a Guide to Writers' Homes in England.  Her experience makes her uniquely qualified to take you on this literary journey to England's gardens.  For more about Carol, click here
bulletWe usually meet at Newark or a New York airport and travel together from there.
bulletWe require a minimum of 16 people and a maximum of 20 people.
bulletPrivate themed tours can be created for your own group.  Contact us for details.
