2010 gives another opportunity to visit this fascinating country at a time when the changes introduced over the last two decades have produced stunning results.

 

Many we will see; as well the more remote areas from which many of our garden plants have been introduced are now more accessible too.

This tour is now full, but another one is being planned for next year.
