It is the home of Stan Ireland and Jennie Jordan\, and Stan has spent years making the landscape that surrounds their home. The woodland is a carpet of many\, many thousands of snowdrops\, which flourish in every conceivable place\, stretching down to the lakes\, beneath the willows\, and wandering on to the lane and the field beyond. Paths will lead us over the stream\, round the lake\, and on a small island within the lake Stan has planted an early variety of daffodil\, which was flowering at the same time as the snowdrops\, when we visited in 2025. Coffee and cake will be provided. \nIrelands Meadow is situated off the B1115 just on the approach to Little Waldingfield. Look out for the SRL sign at the side of the road\, and turn off the road towards the laboratory\, it is a fairly narrow lane. Just over a small bridge you will see a turning and gateway on your right\, turn in and park by the barn. \n  \nPRICE IS £8 including donation to West Suffolk Hospital Macmillan’s Nurses URL:https://eastangliangardengroup.co.uk/event/visit-to-irelands-meadow-the-street-little-waldingfield-co10-0tf/ LOCATION:IRELANDS MEADOW\, The Street\, Little Waldingfield CO10 0TF\, IRELANDS MEADOW\, The Street\, Little Waldingfield\, Little Waldingfield\, Suffolk\, CO10 0TF\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Garden Visits ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eastangliangardengroup.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_2636-rotated-e1763398383957.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="East Anglia Garden Group":MAILTO:contact@eagg.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260207T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260207T163000 DTSTAMP:20260430T173944 CREATED:20251118T155732Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260111T113010Z UID:903-1770474600-1770481800@eastangliangardengroup.co.uk SUMMARY:AGM & Companion Planting For Your Garden Dr. Ian Bedford DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ian Bedford\, entomologist\, of the John Innes Centre and resident bug expert on BBC Radios Suffolk and Norfolk.
