China Flower Culture Tour, April 8-20, 2009

Join Rosemary McCreary, Press Democrat gardener, gardening teacher, author, and writer of the weekly "Homegrown" column on a China tour that visits the International Peony Festival in Luoyang, China. The tour will also explore China's grand and ancient garden culture by visiting the famous canal and garden city of Suzhou. We will explore Chinese gardening and horticulture at the country's premier venues, plus see the great sights of China like the Terra Cotta Warriors, the Great Wall, and others. If you've already seen the Great Wall, we can offer an alternate tour of Beijing. Contact us for details and click on the "Peony Tour" link on the left for more information. Participants will enjoy lectures by Andy Ferguson on Chinese flower and historical culture before the tour.

Beware of "low cost" China tours that direct you through souvenir stores every day where the the guides earn their money through "kickbacks." Do you really want to spend your once in a lifetime China trip inside gift shops? Our tours are genuine cultural tours that offer value equal to famous name and museum tours that cost 3 times the price.
