David Culp is a self-professed Galanthophile—a lover, and passionate longtime collector, of snowdrops in all their various incarnations.

He is also a host of the annual Galanthus Gala symposium, which happens the first weekend of March in Downingtown, Pa., and virtually online, too, for those of us who want to join in without even leaving home—as I did last year, and will again this time around.

David Culp, author of “A Year at Brandywine Cottage” and also “The Layered Garden,” gardens on 2 acres in Downingtown, where among many botanical treasures he grows more than 200 cultivars of Galanthus, or snowdrops—proof positive that he is indeed a true Galanthophile.
