Fitzwilliam College Cambridge

Like many Cambridge colleges mine (Fitzwilliam) has very nice gardens and worth a visit  ;D

We always have a nice display of early spring flowers and here are two pictures of snowdrops under a tree.

and here are two more of a "woodland" area under a very large copper beech, currently showing snowdrops and cyclamen. This was only developed a few years ago and is spreading slowly.

Many thanks for posting these Barry and congratulations on resizing so your photos were a suitable size for the forum.
That's usually the biggest obstacle for new gardening members.

You can post larger photos one posting at a time, which may be a little easier.
I hasten to say yours look good as posted. 

I've received a message from the Forum to say the Attachment file is almost full.
It may have caused the problem you had earlier. I'll take a look at that and see if I can increase the size of the folder.

Getting back to the subject matter - yes, very nice indeed. I like the combination of snowdrops and Cyclamen.
I hope it inspires the students (and staff of course!) to dabble in gardening.

I've increased the size of the Attachments folder, so we should be OK now.
