Just wanted to let everyone know that the two open days at Vivian and Ed Merrin’s gardens are now passed. The last one was on the 31st July, I didn’t attend the latter, but the first in May was very nice. I’m certain there’ll be a chance to see the fabulous Merrin garden next year. So, save the date: sometime in 2012 (likely summer) at Ed Merrin’s NY gardens.

They’re really beautiful, with lotuses, ponds and all sorts of other things you’re unlikely to see elsewhere in New York. I wouldn’t mind having myself one of those one day!
