Snowdrops are the ultimate sign of spring, white, simple and beautiful.

This year I have two snowdrop talks to deliver in February 2026 I'm really looking forward to those and I'll be taking pre-ordered drops along, hopefully with a few extras.

This year I'm also now registered as a plant health professional operator. I've always sold plants but healthy horticultural practice is important so that we dont .pass on nasties to others. If you are a private (or commercial operator) its a simple process.

Sibbertoft White is white, with only the feintest traces marking the inner - just beautiful and a good grower.


In this you tube video you can see how I pot on precious drops for optimum soil health and preventing passing on problems from my garden to yours.


I'm very happy to announce that I am now registered as a plant health professional operator.

Get in touch, book or attend a talk or buy a plant or to.


Happy Spring everyone!
