Tour stunning botanical gardens (virtually) from global to local. Grasp their ties to art, beauty, health, science and perhaps our very survival. Hear garden tales: how Monet’s florals inspired his masterpieces, why Yves St. Laurent owned Majorelle Garden in Marrakesh. From England to Thailand, Sydney to Singapore, Japan to the U.S., take a botanic beauty bath. We’ll explore plants that help vs. destroy our environment, as well as those that can relax and heal us. Trip options may include Mt. Cuba Center in New Castle County or Delaware Botanic Gardens in Sussex County.
