Visit our stunning Snowdrop Festival during February and enjoy winter woodland walks through carpets of Snowdrops.    The Gardens and Tea Room will be open daily from February 11th from 10.30am – 4pm.

There is a large collection of snowdrops mainly planted between the wars by Lady Grey, who was a great bulb enthusiast; over time, a number of natural hybrid’s have evolved and multiplied, and every now and then boffins descend on us and give them cultivar names on what to a layman might appear to be tiny differences. They are planted in large drifts throughout the garden, often with winter aconites, and make a fine display telling us all that spring is not far away.
