Yes, I, John and my long-suffering wife had a snowdrop day out together last year and visited Carolyn Millen.  We had spent so much time at our first venue that we got there rather late in the day but we were still treated with great hospitality.  Carolyn has a large and excellent collection of snowdrops and, indeed, some stunning views.

As there are 1458 registered members and probably less than 100 go to the events I would say quite a lot

Carolyn, with views like that from your garden I am even more sorry I won't be able to visit.

Hope all attending have a great time.

If they are the two I guess (Briar Rose and Pink Ice) then they are not available because they didn't like the results of micropropping them last year, so they have gone back to slower methods of propagation.  It will be a while before there are many for sale.   :'(

Hello everyone.

Just to say my garden is open for charity twice in February. We have over 250 varieties of Snowdrops in a 1 acre garden with great views over the Weald of Kent.

Sunday 6th February
Open as part of the National Gardens Scheme
Open 12 - 4pm

Admission £3.50. Refreshments and plants for sale.

Spring Platt
Boyton Court Road
Sutton Valence
Maidstone
Kent

If you have any questions please do ask or send me a message, it would be lovely to see the people John and I know here and any new faces.

Carolyn

Carolyn,
I will be bringing John Finch (Kent Gardener) and Jennie (Kentish Lass) with me this coming Sunday.

Please arrange the weather.

Arthur

 ;D   No harm in asking, I suppose :-\






My Ashwoods yellow hellebore is bulking up nicely and the shoots are about two inches high... showing colour. I'm pleased.

I'm pleased to hear that, Maggi  ;)
I just removed an old Rhodo yak hybrid that was past its sell-by date and under and round it I discovered dozens of self-sown hellebore seedlings going to flower this year for the first time, it'll be interesting to see what they produce.
