Having recovered from the snow in early February our snowdrop wood, Robin's Grove is absolutely stunning now. 

The BBC Essex Open Day was a fantastic way to start our summer season, as you can see from our gallery.

On Wednesday 17th October we held a very special tree planting. Professor Stephen Hopper, the Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew planted the first in a grove of Wollemi Pines, which is to become the largest planting in the United Kingdom of this rare and endangered tree.

This lovely little piece of woodland is the home of our snowdrop carpet.  It is made up of only three different varieties.  Although there are some single snowdrops and a small group of galanthus Elwesii by far the largest contingent here are double snowdrops (galanthus Nivalis ‘Flore Pleno’).

A small selection of photos showing the variety at Marks Hall.
