The majority of tulips are now in full bloom. Hurrah! Both the Pompeiian Wall and Pergola Walk in the Italian Garden Head are full of colour, plus the majority of tulips in the Long Border have bloomed. Colours range from deep purple, lilac, pinks, reds, oranges, yellows, whites and more! There truly is a rainbow of colour in the gardens at the moment. It’s the perfect time to see the tulips happily swaying in the wind.

However, the shadier Pergola Walk is yet to bloom so we will keep you updated when they burst into a kaleidoscope of colour down the length of the gardens towards the Loggia and the lake.
