Botanica World Discoveries is announcing the addition of a new spring tour to Kangaroo Island as part of its lineup of 2021 itineraries.
The 4-day small group tour departs Adelaide on 15 October 2021 and is priced from $2,995 per person, twin share. The tour includes three nights at the Mercure Kangaroo Island Lodge, seven meals, airport transfers on first and last day; travel on a comfortable coach with room to spread out and daily sightseeing activities.
This tour has been designed to combine with the South Australia’s Wine & Roses tour which includes a visit to Sophie Thomson’s own private garden, Sophie’s Patch.
The Kangaroo Island tour will be hosted by celebrity gardener, popular author and media personality, Sophie Thomson. The avid horticulturalist’s enduring love affair with gardening saw her working on bushfire recovery on Kangaroo Island earlier in the year and she has continued her support for the community ever since.
While touring with Sophie Thomson, guests will visit the Parndana Community Garden, a rapid build project she developed in response to the 2020 bushfires, as well as a range of private gardens on Kangaroo Island, open exclusively for Botanica guests.
Commenting on the Island, Sophie Thomson said that she was fortunate to escape her local Adelaide Hills fires, but whilst supporting her local community, she also felt compelled to help the Kangaroo Island fire ravaged community.
“South Australia’s Kangaroo Island is a place I cherish, a biodiversity hotspot where I’d been filming only a month prior to the devastating fires which ripped through the island this year. I am so proud of the Parndana Community Garden and I can’t wait to share it with Botanica guests,” she said.
