Galanthus Events - Snowdrop Days etc 2013

[KentGardener]

Okay, I found it.

Good lord - that is some list!  Trust me to be skint this year!   

[kentish_lass]

That list made me feel faint

I`m planning to go to The Myddelton House sale and want to know who else is going there

I'm tempted to go because it's only about an hour's drive away.  On the other hand, the snowdrops on the list look they might be too expensive for my pocket - and I have decided to focus my snowdrop collection elsewhere.

If you go by public transport then you will need to have faith that Myddleton house really is at the end of the very urban Turkey Street.  But it is (although only on foot).

Thanks,I think we will be going by car .

In which case driving directions are here http://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/en/content/cms/nature/gardens-heritage/myddelton-house-gardens/#find_us.  You'll need to be aiming for the right hand lane as soon as you leave the M25 roundabout in order to make the right turn into Bullsmoor Lane

I'll volunteer for that.  How close the nearest airport?

(As I've disabled Javascipt so the wink is not an option)

I have very limited funds this year Jennie - so very happy to help carry stuff - please think of me as a pack mule.

I think there is more news around which suggest to me that a few folks might be needing a shopping trolley soon..... this from Sue and Wol of Glen Chantry:

GLEN CHANTRY SNOWDROPS

SALES  EVENTS WE ARE BOOKED TO ATTEND IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY 2013

In our 2012 resting bulb list we stated that we are not going to issue an In The Green Snowdrop List in 2013 for a variety of reasons. We do however have a very large selection of choice snowdrops established in individual pots to offer at the events below. Many are varieties that we do not have in sufficient quantities to offer in a full list. We intend to share them out fairly between the events we are attending. A list of varieties will be available at the events. To enable us to offer the widest selection at the events and limited space in the car for transport, we regret that we cannot accept pre orders.

Really wanted to go to the snowdrop sales but working that day.

[Martin Baxendale]

Can someone please remind me who to contact about joining the Cottage Garden Society snowdrop group, and do you have to join the Cottage Garden Society first, and who to contact about that? The members day is quite close to me and I'd like to go, especially as Wol and Sue will be there, but will need to rejoin, which I've been meaning to do for ages.

[Maggi Young]

You do need to be a CGS member - see this page :
