This year the snowdrop walks commenced on the weekends of the 5th-6th and 12th-13th in February. On both the weekends the Dingle played host to the main snowdrop walk. With having a hard winter the snowdrops held back on the first weekend from flourishing into full bloom, however on the second weekend the snowdrops had arrived in vast numbers and looking to its best. All the visitors on the first weekend enjoyed what the Dingle had to offer even though the elements were against them, all visitors were given entrance passes to revisit on the second weekend due to this. Recently the Dudmaston team has been planting snowdrops in various places around the Estate to spread the general population into places where they would not usually grow to improve the asthetic value for the coming years. We also dug up and potted snowdrops so that the visitors could add a little of Dudmaston to their own gardens. This proved to be a great hit as over the two weekends the Dudmaston Forestry team gained a valuable sum of money to help the department. Overall the two weekends were a great success and proved to be well worth while and we all hope that with further planting, next year will be even more successful.
