WITH spring getting ever closer, snowdrops are starting to appear throughout the county.
They are traditionally the first flower of the year.
Popular snowdrop locations in the area include:
Kingsgate Park in Yate - 6am to 10pm
Rococo Garden in Painswick - 10am to 5pm
Cerney House Gardens in Cirencester - 10am to 7pm
Colesbourne Gardens near Cheltenham - 1pm to 4.30pm (Saturday and Sunday)
Gloucestershire Camera Club members have been submitting their images of snowdrops over recent weeks.
Traditionally, snowdrops are the first flower of the year.
Snowdrop flower bulbs are small bulbs that are often sold “in the green” or undried.
They can very easily dry out, so they won’t be happy sitting around for weeks on end waiting for you get around to planting them.
You will want to purchase your snowdrop bulbs and plant them immediately after you receive them.
