Germany's most important garden event to kick off the season - snowdrop days in 2011
26th and February 27 von 10 bis 17 clock clock in Nettetal-Hinsbeck/Oirlich
Why this is so, could I tell no one, but, interestingly, is a passionate collection of snowdrops a passion that is widespread among men. Who is the driving force behind the initiative in the Waldorf family, is beyond my knowledge. In any event takes place the largest horticultural event in my region in early spring when the garden of a proper `weather` can be seen yet. The exhibition in Oirlicher flower garden attracts gardeners from Austria, England, Germany, Holland and Belgium. The suppliers are tested storm, the visitors warmly dressed and all excited about the possibility of the end of February, so close to visit the first-class plant exhibition. The usual accessories of kitsch, art and Co has been limited and is comfortable for single-digit temperatures to mulled wine or coffee and cake in the parlor is not bad. This year's cold winter, probably make sure that will bloom at the stands, many snowdrops, which in recent years was not the case. And snowdrop-day does not mean that is traded exclusively with Galanthus. Shade perennials, bulbs in pots, cyclamen, hellebores, and rare trees and shrubs, roses and peonies are on offer. As a professional who travels much and keeps a lot of contacts only via electronic mail, this weekend, a welcome opportunity to speak personally with a variety of garden people.
