The sun is shining and the grass and flowers are calling us…
One of the great things about working on the website is considering categories you haven’t before. I would say I probably like gardens as much as the next person… I’ve been to Kew several times, it was lovely, and to Canberra’s Floriade, and this year I even went to the Chelsea Flower Show… But talking to our garden experts really gets me enthused about visiting more gardens.
It must be the time of year but World Reviewer has been showing a lot of activity on the garden front in the last week: Donna Dawson has added a few more recommendations to her list and a couple of new gardening experts have joined us, Ted Harper and Emile Harridan. One of Ted’s recommendations was the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, which he also sent me a link to a great time lapse video a friend of his made of the garden’s cherry tree walk. I have attached it to the site - it certainly helped me to understand the Japanese cherry blossom parties - wow and Emile recommended a garden in Tokyo, known for its miniature landscapes as well as its graceful blossoms. If I needed a reason to get outside I think the recent additions to our Best Gardens list would be more than enough…
