Travels @ 12: Visiting Gardens and Nurseries in Denmark. How Hygge (HOO-gah) Is That?

Join Jeff Jabco for a tour of gardens, nurseries and historical sites in Denmark as he recollects his trip with the International Clematis Society in July 2022.  Even though Denmark is much farther north, the climate is much like we have in southeastern Pennsylvania (but not as hot and humid in the summer).  The Danes are known for their friendliness, for being generally happy and for their love of the outdoors.  We’ll learn why this is true…the tour then finishes up with a few sites near Hamburg, Germany.
