Secret Snowdrops and Giant Snails
Listen to the episode:
In this episode, I take a winter wander through the Cotswolds, discovering what it takes to maintain a world-class snowdrop collection at Colesbourne Gardens. I meet owner Sir Henry Elwes and Head Gardener Katie Reynolds, who share insights into the care and history behind this extraordinary display. As for where their rarest snowdrops are hidden… well, you’ll have to listen to find out!
Next, I visit Cerney House Gardens, where owner Nick Angus welcomes me for a wander through his stunning garden. Among its many surprises, I come across giant Roman snails, a fascinating feature of the landscape. Nick then leads me into the heart of his walled garden, a peaceful haven filled with character, history, and seasonal beauty.
Next Time
I’ll be heading to South Wales to explore a snowdrop garden with a difference and meet a family whose philosophy is simple, every tree in the garden is for climbing.
