Jo Sharman will be selling at the Cottage Garden Society event in Hampshire next week.  They mentioned at the Gala that there may still be places available.  Sorry but I do not have full information (try googling Cottage Garden Society - Snowdrop Group).  There was a  G. 'Wasp' still on the table at the end of the Gala!

Carole did you kill it or let it be?

The event is in Worthing I think

Rob the good snowdrops are available online, from the Snowdrop Company, Monksilver list .......

Ebay is not the place to be hanging out with bidding wars between Grumpysteve and Palepink pushing prices higher and higher. Palepink paid £100 for Trym yesterday.

Hi Mark - told you I was technophobic, I can't even move that silly grin down.  Left the Wasp alone, it would have been a sting in the pocket and fortunately I already have one.

Rob you're not the only person emailing snowdrop companies at this time of year. I've started deleting requests that come to me

Mark

I took a look at your website  www.marksgardenplants.com  and then where you buy your plants.  Sadly Hythe Alpines will shortly be no more.  Could you amend your list please.

Thanks
