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
P.S. Please feel free to pin this fantastic Tulip bonanza! These and many other photos from Great Dixter can be also found on this dedicated Pinterest board.
