In this episode one year on from the episode 160 we chat aboiut how Paul is putting his own stamp on Bellefield after beginning there in December 2022. There are as you would expect lots of developments including a no-dig veg and cut flower garden.

Paul along with the RHSI have lots events and open weekends and days planned for 2024 building on the success of the open days in 2023. New for 2024 is the Bellefield plant fair which will bring many specialist nurseries together for a special event in March.

The season kicks off with the snowdrop weekend which runs at RHSI Bellefield from Thursday 8th Feb until Sunday 11th Feb. These promises to be a great event. RHSI Bellefield has one of the largest collections of snowdrops in the country and is one of the best examples of snowdrops planted in large scale drifts which are nothing short of spectacular.

Also snowdrops mixed with cyclamen coum are one of the beautiful features combinations that will look at its best for the open weekend. Paul will be doing snowdrop tours during the days and lots of other features added for this yea.

You can buy tickets on the RHSI website here
