The Emerald Isle and Virginia Garden Week

Bytroy
 I am very happy to FINALLY announce our first two travel destinations for 2016! The end of April finds us closer to home than usual, but visiting some truly remarkable gardens during Virginia’s Historic Garden Week. We’ll also see some sights in Washington, DC!  Beginning the last week of May and carrying over into early June, we will spend 10 days exploring the stunning gardens and countryside of the Emerald Isle. We’re off to Ireland!

Please email me at troy@troybmarden.com and I will be happy to email you itineraries of your very own!  I hope some of you will join us!
