Garden visitation has been a tourism motivator for many years and can now be enjoyed in many different forms. Private garden visiting, historical garden tourism, urban gardens, and a myriad of festivals, shows and events all allow the green-fingered enthusiast to appreciate the natural world. This book traces the history of garden visitation and examines tourist motivations to visit gardens. Useful for garden managers and tourism students as well as casual readers, it also examines management and marketing of gardens for tourism purposes, before concluding with a detailed look at the form and tourism-based role of gardens in the future.
Dr. Benfield has been researching, consulting and guiding gardens on visitor management for over 25 years. As Professor and Chair of Geography at Central Connecticut State University his research agenda has covered garden management in 123 countries and all continents, and he is the author of the much-acclaimed CABI books Garden Tourism and New Directions in Garden Tourism considered by many the seminal works in garden management. He is a much-acclaimed speaker having presented to and for Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), the American Public Garden Association (APGA), Botanic Gardens of Australia and New Zealand (BGANZ), The New Zealand Gardens Trust, The Canadian Garden Council, and individual gardens including the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew, the National Trust, Eden project and well as over 100 local garden clubs and associations.
