I have been hosting very unique garden tours since 1998. The 2010 tours are all sold out now so visit to see what is coming up in 2011. There is even a short video on one of our tours there and under Ecuador 2010 you can see our new video of some of the places we visited this past January. 2012 is Keukenhof/Floriade (tour up and booking) and Incredible India again along with others, so visit the tours site and let me know what interests you. Then I can let you know as soon as the tours are ready for booking.

Our Panama site is at WhyPanama.net Moving to a tropical country from Zone 3a in Alberta was sure some kind of adjustment, but one that we are so thankful we did. It has opened up a whole new world of plant material and article opportunities for me. I am even growing my very own coconut palm! Haven't figured out where I will put it once it outgrows the ceiling though.

If you have any garden questions, be sure to visit our gardeners forum where you can enter them for other gardeners to read and perhaps even help another gardener out yourself. Please also go to our Help click through and read that as well. Tom also has tips to help you find your way around the site there.
