Irish Galanthus Gala
If you have never been to Joe Sharman's 'Galanthus Gala' you need to get your details on to his mailing list. The first 200 to send their deposits to Joe are able to attend one of, if not the best, snowdrop events in Europe. Three lectures are followed by lunch and then the rush to buy 'drops, some rare as hen's teeth, from 10 or more specialist growers and suppliers. You will be able to buy other choice winter flowering plants too.

In the near future Joe would like to hold a gala in Ireland either in the north or south. Here in the north there are 4 fantastic gardens with snowdrops. Two also have good collections of Hellebores. One garden is small and one is huge with millions of naturalised nivalis in the grass. These four gardens are close enough to be visited in one day.

Would you be interested in a day of garden visits followed by a carvery meal and one or two short lectures from snowdrop specialists? There would be snowdrops for sale, common and unusual, and other winter flowering plants.
