About Botanica
With 25 years’ experience Botanica World Discoveries are the experts in garden travel, offering a wide range of small group tours and cruises hosted by expert Botanical Guides. We visit a vast range of private gardens not accessible to the general public as well as the must-see sights of the region.
Private Garden Visits
In many locations we are privileged to visit private gardens not usually open to the general public. Meet the gardens’ owners, who will show you around while discussing their successes, challenges, tips and future plans.
Iconic Gardens & Shows
We have arranged several exclusive events such as talks by head gardeners, behind-the-scenes tours, meeting the head gardener, early admittance, and private viewings.
Botanical Guides
Travel with and learn from the best. Your travel experience will be greatly enhanced by our professional and knowledgeable Botanical Guides, as they will bring the garden to life and offer an interesting insight into the design and plants selected.
Travel With Like-Minded People
We travel in smaller groups of between 15 to 30 people, so guests have ample opportunities to chat with private garden owners and Botanical Guides. Make instant connections with like-minded people who share common interests and a love of gardens and culture.
