[medit-plants] Re: Lotusland/La Mortella

Ciao Sean!

I have been there many years ago, I had only recently met Susana and I had the same feeling, that the two gardens could be compared. I would love to go back and see how the garden has developed; I remember may corners of the garden that really looked very familiar!

Yes I am planning to come to the AGM, I am going to reserve airplane tickets this week.

BEst,

Alessandra

Alessandra -

(I thought this was the proper place to have this 'personal' conversation)

Deborah and I were discussing the Lotusland garden (http://www.lotusland.org/) the other day - it is on the pre-AGM itinerary for the 2017 Mediterranean Garden Society meeting in Southern California.  We were trying to think of what garden to compare it to.

We decided that La Mortella (http://www.lamortella.org/en/) was a good comparison - both gardens created by strong, unique women of vision!

Have you been to Lotusland?  Do you plan to come to California this fall?
