Research Tips:* Great British Gardens is not so much a tour operator as a guide to gardens in the UK and where to stay nearby.
*Orchid Safari Holidays operate women-only orchid spotting holidays on Crete.
*Not many realise it but the Cambridge University Botanic Garden has been open to the public since 1846 (thanks to Prof. John Stevens Henslow, who is best remembered for inspiring his pupil Charles Darwin with a love of natural history). The Garden curates, develops and displays the plant collections of the University of Cambridge, for research purposes and for everyone to enjoy. Word is finally getting out! Last year 125,000 visitors turned up to see the eight thousand different plant species in 40 acres of landscapes.
