pass! The garden that we will be visiting was on Gardener's World a few weeks back - Snape Cottage. The actual venue for the lectures and sales will be close by maybe in Gillingham.

oops! Will you attend?
 


All things are possible but being only a humble male of the species and having to keep a female of the species happy as well I can't see me getting to East Lambrook on the 9th Feb and to the Dorset event on the 16th. Maureen likes going to East Lambrook because the soup and the cake are both first class! So, all things being taken into account, and if I were a betting man, I would put my house on East Lambrook, and the contents of my bank account on Dorset!!!!! ::)

well yes the food at ELM is by far better than the crap dished up by schools at the Galanthus Gala. I might be at ELM next year but not lecturing

I'll buy you a coffee and maybe some cake!, and then you can take Maureen round the garden and try convincing HER that there are differences between various Snaedreeps!

There is a new snowdrop day to add to the many that happen during February. It has only been confirmed yesterday. I'll tell you more later when their web site shows it. It's in the Midlands
