After Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, a four year civil war destroyed much of the city of Dubrovnik, the jewel of the Dalmatian coast. Join Jeff Jabco, Horticulture Coordinator for the Scott Arboretum as he travels to see restored Dubrovnik, the coast of Croatia, the inland capital of Zagreb. Also experience side trips to two adjacent independent countries that were formerly a part of Yugoslavia-Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina--both of which are still recovering from the war. Beautiful coastline, the blue Adriatic Sea, Mediterranean plants, friendly locals, fresh seafood and local wines, botanic gardens, and backyard and commercial fruit and vegetable production are all part of the tour! Free and open to the public, Travels at Twelve are an informal way to share what has been seen and discovered in various gardens and natural spaces both in the United States and abroad.
