TORONTO — Just in time for Mother’s Day, Insight Vacations is offering Special Interest Journeys focused on gardening with 2019 and 2020 departures.

Clients travel in smaller groups for a more personalized experience and comfortable travel onboard luxury coaches, says Insight.

One of the itineraries offered with these special interest journeys, ‘European Affair & Chelsea Flower Show’, is a nine-day journey that takes travellers to the Chelsea flower show, Aalsmeer Flower Auction in the Netherlands, and a Dutch windmill and the village of Volendam.

In Bruges, clients will cruise along the canal and then visit the renowned Châteaux of the Loire Valley and then the garden of Versailles, which contains around 800 hectares of land full of lush gardens that took 40 years to complete. The journey concludes with the garden of Giverny that inspired many of Claude Monet’s masterpieces as he set out to create a garden full of perspectives, colours and symmetries.

Meanwhile ‘The Gardens of England and Wales with The Chelsea Flower Show’ is a 15-day journey departing May 24, 2019 and now accepting bookings for 2020 departures. This trip features a visit to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the David Austin Nursery, Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, the Gardens of Wisley and many more stops on the journey. Guests will also visit the RHS Chatsworth flower show and see the home of the Duke of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace.
