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, 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. Held from Noon to 1 p.m. in the Lang Performing Arts Center Cinema at Swarthmore College. Contact the Scott Arboretum Offices at 610-328-8025 for more information and parking.
