Saxifraga "days"
Maggi Young:
I was browsing happily on the website of Forumist Martijn Jansen: http://www.dereuvenkamp.nl/
Martijn offer some good plants, and a range of Saxifragas.
So it was that I arrived at this website, from Martijn's link page: http://www.alpigena-saxifrages.nl/
A site unknown to me before, but since Martijn has a link, I am thinking it is worth mentioning this:
Saxifraga Days 2008!
Zaterdag/Saturday 8, 15, 22 and 29 March
Alpigena Saxifraga Nursery
Bart and Hannelore Moerland
Bilderdijkstraat 129 7442 VK
Nijverdal
The Netherlands
I would hate to think that those snowdrop folks had all the fun with their days out!
It seems a good opportunity on these open days at the nursery to buy some Saxifrages to adorn your troughs and screes!

Speaking of Saxifraga days.
We had a day out recently at the home of the national collection of kabshias, Waterperry near Oxford, looked after by Adrian Young.
Despite being bitterly cold, windy and having a few hailstone showers, it was an excellent day out, the plants revelling in the conditions.
Greenmanplants:
Ah, on the old forum that would have given a side by side view, Apologies.
Here you can see the two main raised beds, with over 5 tonnes of tufa all planted up with the collection. I'll post some more later if there's an appetite for it.
Anyone down this way should pay a visit, very well worth it.
Maggi Young:
John, I have edited your post to show the two pix side by side....if you click on it yourself to "modify" you'll see what I did!
Lovely place, by the way.... somewhere else I have not visited.... did I tell you I don't get out much? :-\ :-X :(

John - Yes please. Looks very interesting, I wanted to click on the pic for a larger version - close-up.
The planting looks very well thought out, both the plants and the site. Pictures of both plants and the structure ?over and around them would be great. It's given me an idea for my own plant collection. Thanks!
