    Trips

    Travel abroad with the Morris!

    Vancouver & Victoria
    July 21-28, 2025   

    Situated in the Canadian province of British Columbia, and nestled between the North Shore Mountains and the Strait of Georgia, the vibrant city of Vancouver is filled with glass skyscrapers, parks and forests that reflect the city’s blend of cosmopolitanism and natural beauty. Across the water, Victoria—the capital of British Columbia, full of Edwardian architecture—is a charming city and popular tourist destination, known as “The Garden City.”  
    Explore both cities and learn about their British, European and Asian traditions, their First Nations heritage, and their natural beauty. Your tour will be hosted by Vince Marrocco, director of horticulture of the Morris Arboretum & Gardens, and designed and led by Destinations and Tours LLC. Highlights include visits to VanDusen Botanical Garden, Butchart Gardens, and whale watching in the Salish Sea.


    New Zealand
    January 10-28, 2026  

    Take the trip of a lifetime by traveling to New Zealand with friends from the Morris Arboretum & Gardens. Leave winter behind and head to the Southern Hemisphere for long summer days to experience stunning gardens and some of nature’s most spectacular scenery. For 30 years, local landscape architect Richard Lyon has been leading groups to experience his native New Zealand. Highlights of the trip include more than 10 private garden visits, Auckland Botanical Gardens, Mount Cook, Doubtful Sound, and Mount Aspiring National Park, as well as opportunities to enjoy locally produced world-famous sauvignon blanc and pinot noir.
