Garden belonging to Galanthophiles

What a lovely blog Siris. I have difficulties identifying species of snowdrops let alone the different varieties. I do have a few named ones as they were given to me as gifts.

love the deer statues. I'd love a good statue but haven't found one that we both like.

What a delightful day out thanks for sharing my favourites are the snow drops especially the yellow tops and eleventh photo down.

What a treat to go there and to see so many different snowdrops. She has many other lovely Spring plants too.

I was quite envious of the 'other' plants. I visited this garden in June last year, was spectacular then, with a different range of plants, alpines a speciality.

I must be the only one here who had to look up that word! :O)

Looks a lovely place to visit. Is it a private garden or are plants for sale?

Yes, it is a private garden, but the owners are members of the Hardy Plant Society and the Alpine Group and open their garden on occasions for members to visit. Also Snowdrops were for sale.

Nice Siris, I wonder what the garden is like the rest of the year.

Dawn, I visited in early June last year. Around their pond was spectacular with massed candelabra primulas and Iris sibirica. Cardiocrinum and other species Lilies in the dappled shade from their neighbour's trees. And of course many alpine treasures.

Very nice all year then, lovely

What a lovely place to visit & a great collection of plants, love the deer too!

Not a big garden, but it does have a natural stream running through it, and they've put a pond in it which takes the run off from the surrounding properties then overflows into the stream. Love it. And they say a kingfisher visits, tho' obviously not when they have open days.

Lovely blog Siris and what a great garden to visit, I could lose myself amongst the alpine selection....
