[uvularia]

I see Welford Park Snowdrop Plant Fair has been listed as Thursday 26th February 11 am to 4 pm. A well attended event last year including Avon Bulbs, Foxgrove and Mike Collins! And a small snowdrop presence from ourselves!

[Maggi Young]

This is making me wonder if I should abandon the BD and the Small White Furries to enjoy a weekend of  Snow-white flowers.........

I assume you will be at the Myddleton house sale? That's fine, I will be at the sale & anyone is welcome to come back after, we are only about 30 minutes away.

[loes]

Yes, the plan is to go to Myddelton House sale.
Looking now for places to visit afterwards on saturday and perhaps sunday.

[RichardW]

Either day is fine, let me know nearer the time.

Our peak time most years is 2nd/3rd week of Feb but if we get a mild winter end of Jan can can be good.

SNEEUWKLOKJESGALA 2015

Op zondag 8 februari 2015 organiseert Gerard Oud zijn jaarlijks terugkerende Sneeuwklokjesgala.

Het evenement dat elk jaar nabij de Zaanse Schans wordt gehouden, is tijdelijk verplaatst naar Andijk.

Er zijn unieke sneeuwklokjes, diverse voorjaarsbloeiers en aanverwante artikelen te koop.

Hans Clauzing natuurfotograaf geeft om 13.30 uur een lezing.

Toegang € 2,-

Toegang van 10 tot 17 uur.

Adres: de Jong Lelies Harde Grondweg 1A

Andijk





Komend voorjaar op 14 en 15 februari bestaat ook de mogelijkheid om de kwekerij te bezoeken! Op deze dagen kunt u ook live meekijken naar de laatste vondsten. In het echt zien ze er meestal veel anders uit als op een foto. Bovendien heeft u de kans om er een aan te schaffen!

Alles op deze website is in principe te koop, bestel gerust of vraag naar een speciale cultivar!Lang niet alles is vermeld op de website!
Komend jaar 2014 komen er nieuwe rassen ter registratie en er zitten een paar mooie bij!

We will be in Denmark on the 21 and 22th of February Seeland Denmark for snowdrops of course!

Heb ter informatie een filmpje op youtube gezet over het sorteren van Sneeuwklokjes.

The event will be held at another location next year because the halls are loaded with too many ships! It will be held this time in Andijk(of all places) harde grondweg 1a . Our guestspeaker is wildlife/nature photographer Hans Clauzing at 13.30 p.m.

If there is enough interest i might consider to organise some small trips to some of my "secret" natural snowdrop spots. Free of charge of course, only a good temper is neccesary and not being afraid of the police (LOL)
