HPS/MAG New York/Canada Bus Tour
HPS/MAG will be traveling by bus to Canada to tour gardens,
visit nurseries, spend a night at Niagara Falls, Canada, and see a
play at the Shaw Festival. We will depart Monday, August 18th around
6 am from Downingtown - destination Rochester, NY. with private
garden visits along the way. When we arrive in Rochester the first
garden stop is Charles Oesterley, then off to Jerry Kral’s garden
and the famous wine and cheese reception. Tuesday morning we will
travel across the Rainbow Bridge into Niagara Falls, Canada.
Don’t forget your passport. We will visit the Niagara Park
Botanical Gardens. The next stop is Kurtz Orchards for a tour and
box lunch. It’s a perfect time to sample Ontario peaches, order a
peach nectar drink, or shop in their market for jams to take home.
For a taste of something different we will venture to the Shaw
Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake. There we will see a play, “The
Inspector Calls”. A bit of time to visit the quaint stores and walk
about the town is the perfect ending to the day. The Niagara area
is known for their town gardens and especially the Floral Clock.
Wednesday we will travel back to the U.S. and on to Buffalo, NY.
Each summer Buffalo holds a Garden walk that lists over 200 gardens.
We will visit some gardens at the top of the list. Thursday on our
way home we will stop at Baker’s Acres for some nursery shopping and
lunch - then on to Cornell Plantation. To email for more info, click on info@hardyplant.org.
