Garden Tours

Holbrook’s garden tours focus on exploring a region’s biodiversity through visits to public and private gardens, plant nurseries, and natural areas including national parks. In addition to tours of well-mapped gardens, Holbrook leads programs to destinations not often highlighted in international garden tours, such as Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, India, New Zealand, and South Africa. 

Education, conservation, and research are incorporated into our garden tours, which make them ideal for botanical gardens looking to add a formal travel program to build donations or connect with members. Programs can include expert lectures on topics of regional gardening interests, visits to spectacular botanical gardens, formal gardens and medicinal gardens, investigation of plant diversity and ecosystems in national parks, and so much more. Every detail of our garden tours is considered — even the lodgings are picked for the beauty and planning of their gardens.

Everyone interested in plants and gardens — from members of horticultural societies and orchid societies to custom groups of master gardeners, avid gardeners, and backyard gardeners — will be invigorated by the wealth of sights and information shared on these in-depth, revealing tours.

The Holbrook Explorer

Photo of the Month: November 2025
Above: On the way to see baobab trees at sunset on the red dirt roads in the bush of Madagascar, we stopped as the young goat herders crossed directly in front of us, looking like majestic figures in the sunlit, dusty glow. It felt like the scene of a movie, and this photo captured the feeling of that moment perfectly.
