Introduction
The United Kingdom is blessed with a temperate maritime climate that allows a remarkable diversity of plants to be grown.
This has helped facilitate a broad interest amongst the UK consumer in gardening which in turn supports a strong garden retail sector, valued in excess of £5 billion.
However, the seasonal weather patterns of the UK result in quiet seasons for plant sales and the high cost of operating has caused retailers to broaden their offering in interesting and sometimes unique ways.
The background and understanding of the team at Pennywood Tours enables us to access venues and offer insights to the UK horticultural industry in a way almost unique in Europe.
We offer tailored study tours revealing the best of UK garden retailing and the world class industry consultants we employ as tour leaders help facilitate discussion to reveal the implications of the decisions retailers have taken.
Arriving at London Heathrow or Gatwick, we will meet you and guide you through your visit in comfort for the tour and can help to arrange any subsequent leisure visits you may wish to make afterwards.
Accommodation will be in high-quality Four-Star hotels including Breakfast and dinner and transport will be by super deluxe coach or minibus, depending on party size.
