An Exclusive Members-Only Visit to Lomnava:
If you love me, you will come to me
The Potomac Rose Society will conclude our spring Open Garden season on Sunday, June 7, with a very special Members-Only visit to Lomnava, the extraordinary garden of Yvonne Tsikata in Great Falls, Virginia. The garden will be open to PRS members from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, rain or shine. Be sure to arrive by 2:45 PM for a short formal program, when Yvonne will discuss the evolution of her garden, answer questions, and lead a walk through the grounds.
Named “Lomnava,” meaning “If you love me, you will come to me,” this remarkable garden reflects Yvonne’s vision as a gifted designer, plantswoman, ARS Consulting Rosarian, and Extension Master Gardener affiliated with Green Spring Gardens. Since transforming the property from an open field in 2017, she has created a landscape of exceptional beauty and intention—one that continues to evolve with the seasons.
Designed as a series of distinct garden rooms—including a meadow, formal garden, white garden, Japanese-inspired space, and woodland garden—Lomnava offers discovery at every turn. Roses are woven throughout the design, from elegant parterres to apricot-hued plantings and climbing roses adorning arbors and obelisks—sure to delight any rose lover.
Yvonne’s garden has been featured in Veranda and Fine Gardening magazines, and stands as a true expression of horticultural artistry. This final gathering is a fitting close to our spring season—enchanting, inspiring, and not to be missed.
