YesColesbourne Park Snowdrops
The snowdrop collection at Colesbourne Park originated in the plantings made by Henry John Elwes (1846-1922). One of the finest places to see snowdrops in the world. Try to visit if you can.
In 1874 Henry Elwes had discovered Galanthus elwesiis whilst travelling in western Turkey and he became one of the prominent galanthophiles of his day.
It is clear that he planted widely, as the Colesbourne Park garden today contains large populations of snowdrops, many of them hybrids, descended from those plantings.
New cultivars have been added to the collection each year, with the collection now totalling some 350 cultivars.
One of the best snowdrop displays to visit in England - Editor.
