It has taken me some time to process the last few days in Germany
with 450 world wide fellow horticulturists and designers whose books, gardens, lectures and insta images have inspired me over the years . To be in their great company for a few days was an honour - I can’t wait to disseminate all the inspiration into practise.
Thank you to the team .zaatar
