Tulips galore at Great Dixter!

Welcome back at Mercurelli's :)

As May approach things are hotting up at fast pace. The iconic RHS Chelsea Flower Show and the exhuberant Chelsea Fringe Festival are around the corner, and I just started a new collaboration with GROW London, which I am very enthusiast about and of which I will tell more in another post. One of the two Twickenham gardens has been completed on perfect schedule and the one in Teddington is on its way.

But you know, a Garden Designer is never arrived and even in a such busy time of the year it is essential to find time for planning, brainstorming and learning. And when your 'learning day' is a day a Great Dixter, side by side with Fergus Garrett... well...there isn't much more you can ask for!

Once there I could not avoid capturing all this colour feast for you!

I will be at Great Dixter again this Monday, for a Study Day on Succession Planting, part of the 'KLC Great Dixter Award for Horticulture Award' prize. Please feel free to join me me on Twitter for live photos! 

I wish you a lovely and bright new week, 

Noemi
