Dear Master Gardeners –

Don't miss the chance to join us on the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and Gardens of the Southwest or the New Zealand fall tours! We have some room remaining on both of these tours. I would appreciate it if you would please pass this along to anyone that might be interested. You do not have to be a Master Gardener to go on either of these, but between the two tours, we have Master Gardeners going from 14 counties. If there are any ladies who would like to go, but would prefer to have a roommate, we have one lady on each tour who would like to share a room.

• October 5-14, 2019. Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and the American Southwest with Troy Marden In addition to what is listed in the itinerary, we have recently added some private gardens and an evening visit to the Electric Desert show at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix to this tour. Check out this link for the Electric Desert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq23RQLWW5Y  
• November 11- 25, 2019. New Zealand with Ron and Linda. Limited to 20 passengers. We are excited to have just gotten a group flight worked out with New Zealand Air flying out of Houston with Premium Economy seats. This will be my fourth visit to this beautiful country.

You will find detailed itineraries for each trip attached to this email describing the trip, cost, and how to register.

Troy Marden, the host of Nashville Public Television's Volunteer Gardener, Ron and Linda Williams of Garden Travels and myself, Jason Reeves, curator of the University of Tennessee Gardens in Jackson, have been collaborating on garden tours for several years. Please don’t hesitate to contact any of us if you have questions.
