With beautiful warm weather returning, most travelers are looking for any opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and the great outdoors. While the travel season isn’t in full swing just yet, there are still weekend getaways and a smattering of spring-related holidays to take advantage of before the summer crowds converge on popular destinations. Whether families seek out the quiet solace of parks and gardens or the carefree breezes of coastal beaches, spring can offer a variety of outdoor adventures.

If you’re planning on traveling to any neighboring city this spring, we suggest researching different garden walking tours that many locations have to offer this time of year. There’s only a window of time to view the colorful blossoms of the season and to take in their lovely fragrance. While you can enjoy many gardens or parks on your own, booking a guided tour with a company will help maximize your experience.

Almost every city hosts some kind of local garden or park. If you’ve not visited one in your area recently, now is a great time to explore your own backyard. But if you plan on venturing out a little further, be sure to take advantage of these garden walking tours in Dallas, Charleston, and Nashville.
