It's a mammoth job isn't it Anne, took me forever to get ready for the Norfolk PH day!  A treat today as we are off to Thenford for the snowdrops, I assume we might even see Emma ;D

For those of you not too afraid to come up North...We are having a weekend of snowdrops near York next February. I've potted 60+ varieties of snowdrops, including virescents (greenies), green tips, inverse poculiforms (Trym types), doubles, yellows, giants, earlies, lates, affordable classics, and specials which cost a lot more! I hope there will be something for every taste and budget. There will be a few selected rare daffodils, and hopefully some anemones and hepaticas too.Please note that Dryad Nursery itself will NOT be open to the public.

The postcodes are given for all the venues, Alan - simple enough to open google maps, start with one and add the others to get the "layout" and possible routes.
