Have a lovely time everyone, wish I was there. Lots of lovely snowdrops here and will think of you as I visit local gardens ( Kingston Lacey and Heale house , latter with fields of eranthis too)
Lovely silver birch feature in the winter garden at AA too.... and great cakes.
A friend who knows such things says that snowdrops were planted by monks for medicinal purposes as snowdrop oil was a headache remedy - but is also nowadays known to help Alzheimers sufferers.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I've just sorted out all my seeds, I've got lots that I don't need. I'll bring them along tomorrow and you can all fight over them! Mostly free veg ones from last year's magazines, plus a few that are slightly out of date - I'm not doing veg this year, apart from potatoes.

Which part has the oil to help Alzeimer's disease. Dove. This could be useful. Does it help other forms of dementia?

Friend pointed me to this website http://www.welfordpark.co.uk/history.html
Google has led me to this http://en.heilkraeuter.net/herbs/snowdrop.htm - not sure what the GP and Carers would think if I tried to feed Ma some snowdrop bulbs
