NHS 2013 Tour of German Gardens

June 14-June 29, 2013

Karl Foerster garden in Potsdam, near Berlin

Join NHS for a tour of German gardens in June 2013. The tour will begin in Munich on the evening of Friday, June 14, 2013 and continue through breakfast Saturday morning, June 29, 2013 ending in Berlin. We will be visiting a number of gardens where we will be accompanied by their designers and we will also attend the much anticipated International Garden Show in Hamburg, only held every 10 years. Several of the people whose gardens we visit will be here in Seattle presenting at our annual symposium on Saturday, March 23, 2013, so you will have an opportunity to hear about their gardens and meet with them prior to the tour.

We are planning on a small tour, 15 to 20 people. The tour is priced for 15, but if there are more participants the final payment due will be adjusted accordingly. Our tour company is English, and they hold a Euro account for the tours they run in Europe. The tour is priced in Euros and there will be bank transfer information for depositing into their Euro account. It will be possible to pay by credit card. However, it is strongly discouraged, since this will cost you an additional 3% in credit card fees and two conversion rates—from dollars to English Pounds and then Pounds to Euros. It will be much cheaper to do a wire transfer.

The tour includes hotel (15 nights), all breakfasts, 3 lunches, 4 dinners, all entrance fees, and all transportation during the tour.

Double Occupancy: 2,900.00€; Single Supplement: 570.00€

Deposit Due December 15, 2012: 800.00€ and Balance Due March 15, 2013

Tour price does not include airfare or transportation to/from airport.
