Yesterday, there was a knock at the door. It was a lady I'd never met before.
She wanted a 'cheeky favour' (her words, not mine)....."could she have some snowdrops from our orchard"?
She had struggled to find any snowdrops at the garden nurseries or shops near to us to buy.
Her sister had recently died and seeing her sister's favourite flower were snowdrops, she wanted some to put on her grave.
Eager to help out, I suggested she dig up a few to take to the funeral today.
It's a lovely thought, that some of our Snowdrops (Galanthus) have found a new place to rest and grow each year.
All around the UK, gardens are open to show off their beautiful Snowdrops.
