It's Here At Last!


Hi Everyone, I hope that you are all well and ready to venture out, blinking into the sunshine! I recently read this quote from someone called Rogers Hornsby:
 People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.  I'm sorry, I don't know who he is but I certainly echo his sentiment!
We've had a busy winter but are pleased to welcome our friends old and new, back to Birkheads for the coming season starting with our Snowdrop weekend this Saturday February 25th, weather permitting from 10am until 5pm.
Jobs done in October include making the path up to the nursery less steep and changing the steps to the toilets into a ramp. Wheelchair users please park on our drive. If in doubt call me on 07778447920. We've made another pond to encourage even more wildlife. I can't believe we have snowdrops in flower the garden is well ahead for the time of year.
PS We are going to keep 2011 prices through 2012 this year. Enjoy! If you have withdrawal symptoms, we now have a number of videos on youtube showing the gardens from February onwards all done by one of our regular visitors who has captured the essence of the gardens exceptionally well. Please follow the links on our website:  http://www.birkheadssecretgardens.co.uk/links.asp
We will be open for all Bank Holiday Sundays & Mondays this year but we are closed for the Queens Jubilee Monday & Tuesday.
