Hi Everyoe.
Its that time of year for us again. If you are down in Kent for the Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd February we are open under the NGS garden scheme. We are open 10.30 to 3.00 Adm:£3.50. Some plants for sale. Homemade bread and soup to keep you warm.
The collection of snowdrops is now about 450, with about 70 out at the moment. I will update the week before, the numbers out in bloom.
We are at Spring Platt, Boyton Court Road, Sutton Valence, Maidstone, Kent ME17 3BY

That dog thing is the stuff of nightmares, my own dog really didn't like the noise..

This looks good for beating, or just squashing the queues, would require hat, pipe and comedy voice  :)
