Brand USA to host agents at garden festival

Brand USA has partnered with Aspire and sister title Travel Weekly to offer agents the chance to join an exclusive event showcasing the diverse landscapes of the US.

Agents are being invited to a trade gathering at RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival on July 5, where Brand USA will unveil its America’s Wild garden.

Up to 60 agents will be hosted at the event, which will include a training update and networking with representatives from Austin, Texas; Charleston, South Carolina; and Oregon.

The event, which will run from noon to 6.30pm, will include lunch and afternoon tea. Agents will also have free time to enjoy the horticultural festival and America’s Wild garden, which has been inspired by the US’s diverse flora and fauna and will celebrate three natural landscapes – desert, forest and prairie.

Chris Thompson, chief executive of Brand USA, said: “America’s Wild is a snapshot of the spectacular landscapes that shape the US.

“We hope that as visitors wander around our garden, it will spark curiosity, and inspire adventurers to discover more of the US beyond the gateways and into our great outdoors.”

After the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, the America’s Wild garden will be relocated to the US embassy in London and the American Museum & Gardens in Bath.

Agents who would like to be considered to attend the Hampton Court event should register their interest by May 31 by emailing Aspire editor Hollie-Rae Brader: hollie@travelweekly.co.uk
