The annual Hampton Court Palace Tulip Festival received the ultimate accolade at the World Tulip Summit in The Hague recently.

Our Head Gardener, Graham Dillamore (see page 52) was presented with the World Tulip Award for Britain’s Largest and Greatest Tulip Heritage Garden, in the presence of ambassadors and diplomats of the participating countries.

Ibo Gülsen, Chair of the World Tulip Society said: ‘The Tulip Festival at Hampton Court Palace offers visitors a unique experience highlighting both the horticultural and cultural heritage of this beloved flower through stunning outdoor displays, excellent interpretation, and an inspirational event for all who attend.’

Congratulations to our hardworking gardeners and the team of volunteers who plant the 100,000 bulbs needed for the stunning displays each year. Don’t miss the festival this year, 11 April to 05 May (subject to weather). Members go free.
