The estate has been in the Erskine family since the 1600's but it was the grandmother of the current owner, Peter Erskine, who planted the snowdrops and Catherine, Peter's wife, who set up the mail order business selling 'snowdrops in the green' in 1986 having read articles recommending planting snowdrops in leaf rather than the traditional dried bulbs in autumn.
The business was first recommended by Gardening Which as 'Best Supplier of Bulbs in the Green' in 1998, is continuously receiving accolades for quality of product and service and now receives orders and enquiries for snowdrops, snowflakes and aconites from all over the world. |
