“If I could rename every day of the year, I would look out at my gardens and choose something that was blooming, something beautiful, something rich and full of color that appeared on that very day. You can do that, you know. A well-planned garden never fails to offer inspiration and beauty every day of the year. That is the calendar by which I would like to live my life.”

He lived that life. Gardens around the world today, the famous and public and the private and cherished, bloom and sway with the plants and cultivars of Kurt Bluemel.
