Brightwater's trips with Tresco's head gardener, Mike Nelhams, as guide are particularly good, according to my fellow travellers. \"He knew the name of every plant, he walked around with you, he was just so helpful,\" said one. An Islay Wildlife Spring Watch starts from 495 for four days. You can go further afield, too: in October Brightwater has a tour to Brazil, the holiday of a lifetime for those who long to see the exotic post-colonial gardens of Roberto Burle Marx. Linger in these private showpieces, then get escorted around Brazil's extraordinary botanical gardens (starts from 2,995). You don't have to restrict yourselves to gardening holidays. Greentours (www. greentours.co.uk) takes small groups to some of the world's wildest places to look at birds, butterflies and flowers. \"Iran is the most gorgeous country,\" says Fiona Dunbar, who co-runs the firm. \"The people are friendly, and the food delicious.\" Greentours organises all the Alpine Garden Society's tours. \"It's not just experts who come on the holidays,\" says co-founder Ian Green. \"Yes, you get members of the group who've written books, but you also get those who are there to learn, and those who just want to walk and see these incredible places.\"

Gardening resolutions - whether made in January or any other time of the year - generally last about 10 minutes, but we still make them. There's something nice about mulling over plans, and if the thoughts hover in the depths of our subconscious, eventually they should have some influence, shouldn't they? In spite of all the flooding in 2007, drought is still the biggest problem for those of us gardening on light soils. So first I'm going to mulch everywhere. Then I'm going to assess each plant in my garden to see whether there is a more drought-tolerant alternative. There are more rewarding summer gardening jobs than lugging watering cans about. We'd love gardeners to volunteer on a Trees for Cities planting day, to help make some bleak urban spaces a little greener. Or you could sponsor a tree. It's not just about London - this year we are planting in Bristol, Leeds, Addis Ababa and Nairobi.
