Every year the snowdrops in the wooded area at the end of the garden brighten up a very bleak February in the garden. I am happy to say that they are also naturally spreading into the orchard and the Busway hedgerow.

Every year I move some further up the garden to provide interest even when a cold trudge to the very end of our patch seems like too much effort. Last Spring I moved some plants up to the edge of the drive, as I knew that we would be walking up and down that part of the garden more than any other. I am really pleased with the outcome. The photo doesn’t really do them justice, but amidst the puddles and drowning grass, they are a delight. The knowledge that they will spread and become more prolific over the years is also a wonderful thought.
