A few years ago, I bought some snowdrops in the green and planted some in each community garden; some gardens have more snowdrops than others, but all are looking quite good with not only snowdrops, but other spring pants as well like Iris reticulata, crocuses, daffodils and primroses. I haven't been to all the gardens taking photographs, but here's a selection of what's looking good in our Old Town community gardens:

The bed beside Mr Cod, opposite Long's Bar has a good selection of plants in flower, but only one snowdrop in evidence this morning. Below here are some violas we planted a couple of months ago looking good:
and some very bright Primroses
there are also daffs flowering well there. From Mr Cod, it's worth going to look at the two beds beside the former Museum and Art Gallery where there are also a good selection of snowdrops
Really bright Iris reticulata
and crocuses

Although the museum and art gallery no longer operates form Apsley House, keeping the gardens tended there does make quite a difference to the fell of the otherwise rather neglected corner of Old Town.
