Snowdrops are the centre of attention for a special weekend devoted to these pretty, delicate harbingers of spring – taking place at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (January 30-31).
Galanthophile and horticulture expert Naomi Slade will be our very special guide for this two-day celebration and will lead us on a tour of the Garden’s snowdrop hotspots. She will also give a talk on growing and caring for your own plants and will be signing copies of her book, The Plant Lover’s Guide to Snowdrops.
A self-led trail around the various snowdrop highlights is also available to visitors in the run-up to the weekend event as well as on the 30th and 31st.
And there will be family activities that weekend, too, with lots of snowdrop-related crafts, fun and games for children and families.
Admission to the Garden over Snowdrop Weekend is just £3 per person. Entry to the Garden Monday-to-Friday in January is free.
Entry is FREE for Garden members and parking is FREE for all.
The Garden is open 10am to 4.30pm and last entry is at 3.30pm.
