Last month we ran a hugely successful competition on the very popular website, Sixtyplusurfers, giving entrants the chance to win a fantastic £500.00 gift voucher to put towards a holiday of a lifetime! We were overwhelmed by the response, with hundreds of responses flooding in. The winner has now been informed, and the gift voucher has been sent, but where will the choose to go?

Will they travel to the Caribbean for rainforest covered mountains, fertile valleys, sandy beaches and tropical plants, or to Morocco for captivatingly exotic African and desert gardens?

Perhaps they will opt for the are equally enchanting gardens which are to be found closer to home, such as the Spanish patio gardens of Seville, Carmona and Cordoba, or the intoxicating gardens, palaces and tapas of Madrid? Or maybe the extraordinary gardens of Lakes Como and Maggiore will be more more their cup of tea (or glass of Campari)?!

Wherever they choose, we are sure that they will have the time of their life.
