“Thank you for organizing the MOST AMAZING GARDEN TOUR – we saw so many marvellous gardens old and new. The roses were spectacular. Everyone is so jealous of our trip and you were so clever to get us in to such very special Villas and Castles. The food was excellent and the wines were delicious and everyone was charming – what more can I say! It was a delight to meet Alys, she is so interesting and I have never spent time with a botanist before so I learnt so much.”

LONDON DAYS AND COURSES
'By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show'. Dr Samuel Johnson.
London, arguably the greatest city in the world, is a town that many of us have lived in or near, but don't really know. Rose Balston will bring the art, culture and architecture to life, explaining why sites are important and how better to appreciate London's rich history. In small groups (generally 8 or fewer) you will be given an insight that will spark your imagination and allow you to enjoy our glorious treasures close to home. Rose studied Art History at Edinburgh and has taught for Art History Abroad for four years. Music, another of her passions, finds its way into much of her teaching.
'Without Rose I would understand almost nothing of London. She was so engaging. She spoke directly to me, and not as a tour guide. A day with Rose is wonderful value and much valued in my memory'. Nicholas Milligan
