On show are two fabulous snowdrop gardens and a garden with 10s of 1000s of G. nivalis and Crocus tommasinianus.

Book flights now for cheap deals. I can pick up 4 people from Belfast International airport which is 4 miles from my house

Freddy,
snowdrops under hamamelis, there is only one place I like so much .......
At first it was a long way to snowdrops,
now it`s a short way to friends.

Slightly wider question; could others based in the UK suggest which European snowdrop do's are most worth attending based on their experience? Happy to receive PMs if preferred.

KentGardener John did.... isn't there some news of that here: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=6670.0    ........ I remember spectacular cakes and puddings..... at this time of year John is probably busy taking his exotic tropical plants indoors for the winter..... he'll be around soon, I expect!  ;D

Was rather hoping to get to some of the German/Belgium/Dutch events next year.
Pity, I recall the organised 'coach trip' last season got cancelled from lack of interest (or was that lack of funds?).

I could always pop over for a weekend in March if there are still flowers to see near your place.   ;)
