Garden Studios

The Jacobean-style property’s gardens are famous for its huge selection of snowdrop varieties, and its winter garden is another good reason behind making the adventure to Lode, near Cambridge.

But in the event you just can’t wait until Monday you will get your snowdrop fix on the National Botanic Garden of Wales which starts its Snowdrop Week on Saturday, January 25.

Visitors can discover the garden’s mile of snowdrops and celebrate St Dwynwen’s Day – the Welsh patron saint of affection.

A Snowdrop Trail leaflet would be available, and there’ll be microscopes available for a more in-depth seriously look into the snowdrop flowers.

There may also be advice on where and the way to plant snowdrops to get the precise displays, and a January Food Fair may also be happening.

The National Botanic Garden of Wales is near Carmarthen just off the M4, and its Snowdrop Week continues until February 2, while Anglesey Abbey’s Snowdrop Festival finishes on February 9.

You may see snowdrops this weekend and next week on the National Trust’s Dunham Massey, in Cheshire, and its gardens at Belton House, Lincolnshire.

The NT’s Ickworth Park, in Suffolk, has snowdrops and golden aconites along Geraldine’s and Erskine’s walks, and a stunning display of snowdrops are available at its Kingston Lacy property in Dorset.

The bulb meadow within the NT’s Nyman’s, in West Sussex, is usually filled with snowdrops in January and February.

Finally, King’s Arms Garden in Bedfordshire may have a different snowdrop opening in aid of the National Garden Scheme this weekend.

There might be additional info on snowdrop gardens opening in February and March over the approaching weeks, but for additional information at the ones mentioned here visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk, www.gardenofwales.org.uk  and www.ngs.org.uk
