Description
One of the nicest ways to take a break from the rush of sightseeing as you travel is to enjoy a garden. And throughout the world you will find spectacular ones, charming ones, traditional ones -- all designed to please your senses.
Beverly Hurley is passionate about gardens, and of natural places filled with flora and fauna, wherever she travels. She defines a botanical garden versus a conservatory or arboretum, and then she and Lea share their favorite gardens around the world, including in South Africa, the Netherlands, Morocco, France, the U.S., Canada, New Zealand and Japan.
We end the episode with one of Beverly's favorite garden-related memories.
