Galanthus Events 2009

[mark smyth]

Someone called Mark Smyth has been asked to give a lecture at the Cottage Garden Society snowdrop day on February 21st.

I hear there are many events this year that clash with other events as people try to catch those suffering with White Fever. It's happening over here and in Europe

Who?

I don't know either. He could be c**p!

I just heard he's appearing twice at Harvey's Garden Plants on the 2nd and 3rd of February. He gets around like a rash.

[Martin Baxendale]

Mark, do you have a contact for getting tickets? It's very near to me. I lost contact with the CGS snowdrop group a few years ago when it was run by Daphne Chappell.

[Maggi Young]

I thought that Smyth fellow was due to be in Scotland at that time??   RBGE conference etc?

For the people on the forum who live in Belgium or the neighbouring countries:

On the 24th and the 25th of January and the 7th and 8th of February there are snowdrop weekends with guided walks in the winter garden at Cathy Portier's nursery near Bruges.

Folks
Someone mentioned to me that Margaret Owen (no relation) opened her garden for charity and that the drops are well worth seeing. Have I got that right, if so are any dates known/do I need to make contact with her, and (rather important) where is her garden located? Anywhere near Ashwood Nursery?
Any advice appreciated.

I guess maybe you monitor these discussion threads - there haven't been any responses to my last post re Margaret Owen and Ashwood Nursery (if I've got the name right), is that because no-one knows the answers? Comment appreciated.

Mark will know Steve as he has been there before.

[mark smyth]

Margaret's garden is open on Sunday February 22nd and is well worth seeing. The barn has snowdrop sales, cakes, soup tea and coffee. All money raised goes to MS - me. Only joking.

[mark smyth]

I've been going 7 years now to help.

You still haven't said where it is Mark!
