Garden Tours

Tours to Scotland and Ireland -I have taken a break to focus on family, sculpture and poetry. I have used a wonderful company for decades that can bring you around the most wonderful gardens including Wales and UK- Please email me at Karinstanley1@gmail.com and I can connect you with them to help create an exclusive and memorable experience.

Since 1995, I have been creating and leading garden tours ever couple of years to the magical gardens of Ireland and the enchanting gardens of Scotland and Wales. Sometimes co leading or custom designing for small groups who want to have that really unique experience that I can help them discover. My tours are exclusive, personal and fun - where you meet many of the owners and head gardeners and we have a good romp of an adventure in between, capturing the ancient sites, culinary delights and the stories oh the stories. Myfwish is that you experience the land I grew up in and there is nothing more satisfying that knowing I can help you have and extraordinary and memorable trip. I have used the same land agent who handles all my details since 1995. Please contact me directly if you are invested in a small group tour that can be coordinated by me. Karinstanley1@gmail.com

SCOTLAND’S GLORIOUS GARDENS - A MYTHICAL JOURNEY

 Scotland the land of romance mystery and drama, Mary Queen of Scots, Robert the Bruce, from the stories of Outlander where we see another breadth of the landscape and beauty. From the highlands to the ocean.  I have been enchanted for many years with this land across the sea from Ireland where I grew up.Experience an abundance of unexploited and un-trampled luxuriant gardens where a profusion of plants grow with unparalleled exuberance amongst old castles, walled gardens, a modern sculptural landscape and a garden of allegories weaving the heathers and poetry into the landscape.I designed this tour to share one of my favorite  journeys through this ancient and dramatic land. Enjoy the unfolding of this extraordinary combination of garden delights. We will visit many of my favourite personal gardens and meet the owners and head gardeners  while experiencing the delights of the Scottish hospitality and the plethora of contrasts we see in the gardens of this Celtic Land.
