Meander through the gardens at your own pace and enjoy lunch on your own at The Arbor Cafe with fellow OLLI members. The gardens are designed by Jim Gibbs, the retired founder of Gibbs Landscape Company. The property is 376 acres making it one of the nation's largest residential estate gardens. There are 21 garden venues including five feature gardens on site. In early spring we can hope to enjoy late season daffodils, tulips, cherry blossoms and dogwoods blooming. As in any garden, there may even be surprises! The paths in the Valley Gardens are level and wide. There are many benches-126 in the Valley Gardens alone-providing a comfortable place to sit and relax while taking in the beauty of the gardens. The paths are covered with a ground granite that stays firm in dry weather. They are not paved. As such, they may soften following rain.

Set out from Amsterdam to cross the former battlefields of the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Luxembourg where brave soldiers gave their lives during World War II. Visit historic sites and memorials in Groesbeek and the Hürtgen Forest before ending your journey in the Rhine Valley—and returning home with a renewed sense of national pride. BROCHURE
