Founder and co-owner of APT's sister company
Botanica, Judy Vanrenen, invites you to join her
exclusive botanical journeys. Venture beyond the
garden gate into the finest gardens and stately
homes, taking part in cultural experiences along
the way. See the beautiful gardens you have read
or heard about, many of which are difficult to find on
your own or are open exclusively for Botanica guests.
In addition to garden visits, some journeys provide
a range of enriching experiences, including gourmet,
historical and cultural activities. On most journeys,
we provide a Botanical Guide to enhance your
experience. Tour managers and local guides help
you learn about each destination. On cruises, enjoy
stimulating presentations from guest speakers and
lecturers, all designed for the curious mind.
