Would anyone know if Jenny Homewood is away? I have been trying to reach her by phone for several weeks about getting tickets for the CGS Snowdrop Event at Cerny on the 21st of February. No anwer morning, noon or evening.

Perhaps there is someone else I could contact about the event.

I've been trying also. As far as I know she does all the organising herself.

Perhaps as she has had a year of bad health she is unwell again.  I sincerely hope not, but obviously a possibility :-\

Well hopefully she is Mark, and enjoying a holiday in the sun before things get hectic with the snowdrops!  I just don't know, relaying what it said in the November newsletter.

I might look in to it because I may be free that weekend. What are you looking for?

Anthony, if you mean 'The Garden House' here in Devon, it's not very far away from me. If they have something you want I would be happy to collect it for you and post it on to you. Just let me know.

David,

Does "The Garden House" do snowdrops? Is it there that Matt Bishop is gardener, or garden advisor?

I have booked a week in Padstein, over Rick's restaurant, from the 6th to the 13th of April and intend visiting the Garden House - and Rosemoor, which again is in your area. (No, I won't be looking for a bed for the night!). Have also booked flights for Tresco but nothing else decided as to gardens to visit. The selection is huge.

Hi Paddy,

The garden house is where Matt is but last year he wasn't selling snowdrops from there. I think its possible he's keeping work and play separate.

He does sell snowdrops if you ask him for them but I don't know what the protocol for approaching him is.  Maybe David knows ?

No, don't know about the protocol. But am prepared to help anyone who wants to have plants from Matt Bishop by collecting them and posting them on. All you need to do is to establish contact with him and then come back to me with arrangements.

The garden House is one of our Wednesday visiting places, they do a very good lunch and excellent CAKES too.
