Frank,

To bad you didn't have any much response to your question re gardens in Thu above mentioned countries.

I would expect at the time of your travels you will find some marvellous gardens.

I travelled in Austria and Germany, Italy and France and the gardens where splendid.

Would love to hear what you did find in the way of gardens.

Where are you in FLorida. We are Canadian, but winter in Ft. Myers Florida. So as I can garden year round

We are in miami florida but right now we are traveling quite a bit between there and Tampa.

Sweden was a not that nice for gardens and not nearly as nice as Denmark.

Actually, in terms of cottage gardens I have never seen as many nice gardens including roses as I have in the Czech Rep. and esp. Poland. Amazing borders and roses!
