THE TEA GARDEN. During a short vacation in the beautiful area of Olst, I photographed this tea garden designed by Herma Schmutzler. She specializes in remarkable perennials that she grows herself at her nursery in Diepenveen. The tea garden is a model garden featuring multiple sections and large perennial borders arranged by color. Beginning with white and soft pink, transitioning to shades of dark and bright pink and lilac-purple. Livened up with beautiful reds and yellows sprinkled throughout. The garden really invites you in and the ornamental grasses swaying in the wind, gently guide you on.

The garden is located a stone’s throw away from the river Ijssel and open every day. Visit https://hermaborder.nl for more information.
