Everybody’s favourite spring flower is the centre of attention for a special day at the National Botanic Garden of Wales on Saturday January 31 – and it’s FREE for all.
Galanthus is a much-loved harbinger of spring and here at the Garden there is a mile of snowdrops to explore but Snowdrop Day is so much more than walk in the park.
There will be talks, trails, a book signing, family activities and a demonstration on how to grow and care for snowdrops as well as tips on incorporating them into your garden design.
Award-winning horticultural writer and much-garlanded show garden designer Naomi Slade will be on hand to help you out with (almost) all you ever wanted to know about snowdrops.
Naomi’s voice is one frequently heard on radio and she contributes regularly to many national newspapers and magazines, including The Guardian, The Telegraph, Kitchen Garden Magazine, House and Garden and the official organ of the Royal Horticultural Society, The Garden.
Her book The Plant Lover’s Guide to Snowdrops, has just been published by Timber Press and will be available in the Garden gift shop.
When she is not talking, leading walks and demonstrating, Naomi will be signing copies of her new book.
As part of the Garden’s FREE January promotion, there is no admission charge for this event.
