By popular request, following Helen Picton’s excellent talk to us in January 2024, we’ve a trip to
Old Court Nurseries & garden to see some of their 300 snowdrops, with a tour by Helen. There are
no refreshments on site, so bring a flask with a hot drink for the morning, as well as your packed
lunch. In the afternoon we’ll visit the nearby Brockamin, where we’ll see Margaret Stone’s
collection of snowdrops in her 1.5 acre garden. We’ll have tea & cake there before returning
home. The cost of the trip including entrance and the refreshments in the afternoon will be £35-37,
depending on numbers. The coach will pick up at Cross Hands 7:15, Baglan 7:40, Sainsbury’s
Sarn 8:05, Cowbridge Town Hall 8:25 and Cardiff West 8:45
