The buds on our snowdrops have started to burst open with abandon. Their exhuberant display is a joy to behold. Groups of walkers on the footpath are just stopping to stare, others telling us that they come every year to look as for them it signals the first sign of Spring. We're touched by their enthusiasm.
The current display is the result of a decade spent religiously splitting the clumps when they are 'in the green'. Snowdrops, Galanthus, are promiscuous plants - their bulbs multiply at a prolific rate and they need space to breathe. We replant in concentric circles on the sloping site to enhance the natural landscape. Our project for this decade is to mirror the planting on the opposite side of the valley. Last year we took our first little steps!!
