A Secret Garden too!
For the past 25 years, Ginger has been sharing her passion for experiential travel, offering her best in off-the-beaten-track places in Ireland, sharing the best-kept secrets, and introducing you to the real people of Ireland. Often accused of a tour really being an expedition in local food, she is a champion of the Irish food world and of the sustainable practices that Ireland is quickly becoming a leader of on an international scale in hospitality, gardening, and in fresh, local, organic produce. We use sustainable hotels and restaurants and rely heavily on our suppliers to uphold our high standards for travel.
Past Garden Writer’s Region 6 Manager, Rotary Club PR and PTA President, she now invests her time fully into touring and offering those one-of-a-kind meetings with the locals that others miss. She’s a Master Gardener with extensive knowledge of Irish gardens and gardening practices. Also, a supporter of the Irish historic houses and a member of The Irish Georgian Society, she helps in the preservation of Ireland’s built heritage. She is also a professional genealogist and a member of IGRS, ASTA, and SKAL.
