Hello All,
I'm dragging my wonderful husband to Colesborne for Valentines weekend, and was wondering if any body knew of other gardens we might visit either on our way down, or up from Cheshire. I had hoped to be going to the Gala but recieved my letter to late!
Many thanks
Jane

Hi Jane

I wondered the same a few years ago - someone said that the Rococo garden was nice for drifts of normal snowdrops - I never did get to visit there though  ::)

Hi John,
Yes they where very nice, we've been there a few years ago. I think we may well be stopping at Ashwood for a hellebore fix!
