Brodsworth Hall has been building up its displays of snowdrops, taking out acres of overgrown beds and planting a variety of shrubs and flowers, as well as creating vistas based on original photographs of the great house and estate.

Beautiful pictures! I wish I had snowfrops in my garden, but unfortunately it's too hot for them here. Your blog is really interesting I love british gardens, I added you to my blog list. Greetings from Argentina.
ReplyDeleteI've now read your own blog and added you to my own list. Waterlilies to die for! Every climate has its own advantages. On a bitterly cold here I do attempt to think of some.
