What is the perfect way to jump-start a great summer after lengthy, gloomy winter?
Divulging in richness and luxury of renewed nature; rousing mind through exposing senses to visually pleasing images, splendour and style.
Two events in late May had all the qualities to fulfil all he requirements: Chelsea Flower Show in UK, and Bloom in the Park in Dublin, Ireland.
I’m going to treat you with a selection of images from both of those prestigious events, promising thorough encounters with some of the most successful gardens, and extraordinary designers, from September on these pages.
One point however: even though these prestigious events are also competitions, I have decided to leave for now winners, medals and losers, and concentrate on universal beauty, complementing hard work and talent of garden designers.
