Over the last few years, and helped by our visitors, we have planted 10,000 snowdrops in the Woodland Walk area near the Fun Farm. It would be lovely to see you over Mother’s Day Weekend to help us add a few hundred more plants which will add to the carpet of flowers which will appear next February.”
