Hidcote, one of the most elegant gardens in England. A study in design inspiration, this Cotswold favorite is also admired for its bountiful tulip displays in early May. Which English gardens do you enjoy for their tulip displays?

Such a treat!! A much-anticipated dusting of snow against a backdrop of blue skies, brilliant sun, and soft puffs of clouds that mirror the 4 umbrella-pruned cherry standards. This image well makes up for the Arctic temps we’ve been suffering.

I grew up in West Los Angeles and graduated from UCLA. It is heartbreaking now to see the magnitude of these horrific fires...the homes destroyed, the lives upended, the communities in shambles, the wildlife killed. My profound sympathy goes out to each of you in your grief!

Over the years, Private Newport has featured innumerable beautiful homes across America. It now seems appropriate to honor and “reflect on the irreplaceable architectural icons that were woven into the fabric of California’s rich and storied heritage, now sadly lost,” as Rizzoli noted.*

While every gardener brings their own imprint to their creation, and certainly there is a notable variety in this idyllic part of Italy and Switzerland, some offer more “eccentricity” than others. Such is Parco Scherrer, a small botanical/sculpture garden created on a challengingly steep hillside overlooking Lake Lugano in Switzerland.
Located in the small, beyond-charming town of Morcote, the garden was started in 1930 by Arturo Scherrer, an erudite and well-traveled textile merchant. Scherrer’s passion for art and antiquities plays out against a collection of exotic and oriental plants also acquired during his travels including cypresses, camellias, camphor and eucalyptus trees, cedars araucarias, palms and bamboo woods.
Scoot over to the blog to read more about this special garden… and start planning your trip to the Northern Lake District of Italy and Switzerland.

Bountiful buds and blooms of dramatic Amaryllis red to warm up these chilly, chilly days of January! I feel warmer just glancing their way.
