Does anyone know of any more snowdrop 2012 dates either in the UK or Belgium/Holland? Maggie, is anything known about Edinburgh or Dunblane dates?

Dunblane Early Bulb Day is on 18th February.... this year it will be "Cyclamen Day" ..... speakers are Melvyn Jope and Martyn Denny.  8)

As yet I know nothing about any Snowdrop event at Edinburgh but Ian the Christie Kind will likely have more info in due course.

Keep an eye on this link, Hagen... all the details will appear there, I am sure: http://monksilver.gerard-payne.net/galanthus-gala/
Edit by maggi: it seems this is NOT an official monksilver site!
Don't ask me what's going on, I haven't a clue... these snowdrop folks are a law unto themselves, it seems. :-\ ???

The exact date wasn't shown there, Hagen... but I find this.......

http://www.srgc.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7697.0  for information about  Snowdrop Study Day at The Garden House Thursday 9 February  2012

And this site tells of a trip planned to the RHS and the Galanthus Gal and the dates for the tour are from the 8th February to the 15th February 2012.... so that gives you time to visit the English Gala and get back to the continent for the other Galas!

Thank you for the date of Monachorum, I believe this is the entrance date.
Very good, my own galanthus are sleeping yet  this time.

If I would want to go to the Gala, would I have to buy a ticket very early? And where do you do this? I would love to go, but I am not able to plan this very early.

That seems to be the date the rumour mill has, and I understand it is highly likely to be in Devon.  This means that the Cottage Garden Society event would be the 18th and may be in Kent.  However, all I can say is that no-one really knows until we are told!
