About us

I am a gardener, garden historian and designer and have organised tours to France, Italy and Spain as well as day tours to gardens in Britain for the past fifteen years.

My aim is to continue with the Border Lines established tradition of visiting the best private gardens in England and we hope that the selection of gardens planned for this year will tempt you to join us. We are offering visits to gardens in Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Monmouthshire, Oxfordshire, Sussex, Wiltshire and Yorkshire.

In addition, we will be offering a range of garden tours to the most interesting gardens in Europe and we will continue to arrange bespoke days or tours for small groups in either England or Europe. Visit the Border Lines Abroad page for news of an Autumn Weekend for the Plant Fair at Courson and Gardens near Fountainebleau departing on Thursday 14th September and returning Saturday 16th October 2010. For more details and the booking form or the link to James Bolton Garden Tours website for further information on European Tours.

My wife Karin and I live at Clapton Manor in the Cotswolds, from which we also run a highly rated Bed and Breakfast within easy reach of some of the finest of English Gardens.
