Tulip Spotting in New York City

Last week we shared the beautiful tulip gardens in London, so we thought it apt to showcase New York in bloom this week as we thawed out from winter, and took a Midtown stroll. Park Avenue is lovely with spot beds of red, orange, and pink tulips adorning it. The New York Public Library lions, Patience and Fortitude, are surrounded by a garden of yellow tulips; and around the corner, Bryant Park is abloom with bulbs as well. This week will be the peak bloom for Tulips in New York according to our sources, so we hope you get the opportunity to head outside and enjoy these beauties!

Embankment Gardens are in Bloom

It’s Tulip season here in London and the Embankment Gardens are in full bloom! For a few more weeks, until tulip season ends in Mid-May, a stunning rainbow of tulips will be in bloom at the Victoria Embankment Gardens.

The Gardens, which were opened in 1875, have given Londoners and visitors alike a beautiful spot to relax along the Thames, and provide the perfect setting the tulips in their full splendor in glorious shades of orange, pink, and purple. Spring has sprung and what better way to welcome her than a stroll amongst the tulips!

"Our Herd of Hope" Presented by Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

During a weekend stroll in London,  we experience déjà vu when we came across lifelike bronze statues of elephants gracefully adorning Spitalfields Market. They reminded us of the herd in Berkeley Square. But these magnificent sculptures are the creation of Gillie and Marc, celebrated for promoting love, equality, and conservation worldwide.

This artistic exhibit, titled "Our Herd of Hope,"  is inspiring in that it serves a vital purpose - to generate support and awareness for the conservation of elephant species. Each smaller sculpture symbolizes a real elephant herd, emphasizing the importance of their protection. Partnering with the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, this installation plans to migrate to various locations across London, making a powerful impact on its journey.  We will be following along!
