Roger Harvey runs Harveys Garden Plants near Bury St Edmunds. He made his name with Hellebores and through the NCCPG helped with collecting and propagating Suffolk snowdrops if I remember rightly. He also sells them.

Thanks Maggi, nothing on the East Lambrook Web Site about events next year though.
Edit by Maggi: that was the point I made in the other thread... new owners, probably not fully decided what they want to do yet.

Glen Chantry will be open on the afternoons of Friday 6th and Saturday 7th February 2009 from 1.30pm through to 3.30pm. You can book though the RHS and costs £7.95 for RHS members and £9.95 for non-RHS members.
The event summary as per the RHS website is as follows: Glen Chantry has a collection of several hundred of snowdrops grown in clumps, which is well known to keen enthusiasts. These special snowdrops are associated with a wide range of other plants to create a colourful winter garden. Special snowdrops will be on sale at this event.
I have posted a link below to the information page relating to the Friday afternoon event just in case you are tempted. I see that there are only 30 places available for the day so I guess it is best not to hang around if you want to go.

Hopefully I'm allowed to post the invitation for Günter Walldorf's Galanthus Gala on Feb 28th and 1st of March 2009:
Schneeglöckchentage 2009 in Nettetal
Am 28. Februar und 1. März von 10.00 bis 17.00 Uhr
Oirlicher-Blumengarten und Cafe Künstler laden ein
41334 Nettetal-Hinsbeck Oirlich 9
Nettetal. Am 28. Februar und 1. März 2009 finden in Nettetal die 3. Schneeglöckchentage statt. Als größte Veranstaltung dieser Art in Deutschland haben sich die Schneeglöckchentage inzwischen auch international einen Namen gemacht. Das Sammeln von Schneeglöckchen (Galanthus), von denen es inzwischen mehrere Hundert verschiedene Sorten gibt, erfreut sich nicht nur hierzulande wachsender Beliebtheit. Ursprünglich stammt die seltene Leidenschaft aus dem garten- und pflanzenbegeisterten England. Günter Waldorf, Initiator der Schneeglöckchentage, hat in seiner Sammlung allein 280 Sorten. Der Garten kann während der Veranstaltung besichtigt werden. Handverlesene Aussteller aus dem In- und Ausland bieten neben Schneeglöckchen auch andere Zwiebelblumen, Stauden- und Gehölzraritäten an. Die persönliche Atmosphäre und der ungezwungene fachliche Austausch machen die Schneeglöckchentage auch 2009 zu einem ersten Highlight im Garten-Terminkalender.
Interessant ist für Sammler auch das Internetportal
www.galanthus-online.de
, das rund um die kostbaren kleinen Zwiebelpflanzen viele Informationen und Sortenbeschreibungen mit Bildern bietet.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen !
Günter Waldorf
