Day trip to see the stunning snowdrops at Colesbourne, near Cheltenham on
We will enjoy a private visit see to the snowdrops, set off by cyclamen and winter aconites at Colesbourne Park. The tour will be guided by garden owner Sir Henry Elwes, and Head Gardener Shane Ball, and give a uniquely personal look at the snowdrop collection and the gardens.
The tour includes a short presentation that includes the history of Colesbourne Park and the Elwes family and a brief introduction to the amazing diversity of snowdrops. This is followed by a guided walk around the grounds, giving the opportunity to see both the massed plantings and the collection of rare snowdrops. Coffee & tea with homemade cake or biscuits will also be served and plants are on sale.
After the visit we will head Gloucester for lunch and free time. Please encourage your friends to join us as we need to fill a coach
