Snowdrop events 2011

To Rodmarton and Colesbourne today. The snowdrops in some cases are well behind; maybe a third properly in flower and very few open. Colesbourne's plants look so lush - maybe its the elephant manure again.

Dr Grimshaw's African connections are impeccable, so you may be right...

A few pictures from John Massey's garden at Ashwood today where there was a snowdrop day with Rod Leeds giving the lecture.  John has planted a lot of snowdrops in his garden over the last two or three years.

Jest not: in a former life I was indeed regarded as something of an expert in elephant dung. But that, as one might say, is behind me.

Anyone going to Harvey's day on Tuesday?

Anyone going to Harvey's day on Tuesday?

If the answer is yes, and then attend the Gala, could someone do me a favour?

Lovely photos of John Massey's garden Diane, I enjoyed everyone!

Thank you for posting them.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to work at his nursery?

Hellebore, snowdrops, hepatica, I'd be in heaven!!

Sorry Mark you are going to be unlucky, we have just heard from Ann that she had a phone call from Roger Harvey this morning and tomorrow's event has been cancelled.  She will be opening for "Help for Heroes" on Feb 17th and 24th from 11 - 4 if that helps anyone that has been disappointed.  On the plus side we are still going for lunch

[KentGardener]

Thanks for the pictures Diane - lots of wonderful winter interest there.

I would love to see Ann's garden again. Say hello for me

Brian, that's a shock  - wasn't Anne busy preparing the garden and food all weekend Harvey's expected visitors to her garden.  I hope you and David have big appetites as I imagine Anne has a pantry full of goodies for the multitude of expected, non arriving, guests.

And what about all those snowdrops you have grown for the sales table?  Will you have another opportunity this year to hand over the pots of 'Finchale Abbey', 'Wasp' and all those others that you hoped to sell tomorrow? 

How frustrating!
