Snowdrop visit: Fairview, Smelthouses, Pateley Bridge

YGT’s first garden visit of 2023 was to Fairview, Smelthouses near Pateley Bridge, and was timed to enjoy some of Michael Myers' extensive collection of over 400 snowdrop varieties. The half acre garden has been gardened by Michael and his family for the last 45 years. Michael is well known to Yorkshire Gardens Trust, having spoken to us on Zoom in early 2022 on “Snowdrops: October to April” and previously on his restoration of Aysgarth Rock Garden.
