As February arrives, we start to see the signs of spring returning. One of the favourite signs of the return to the warmer months and longer days, are snowdrops. These hardy white flowers are often the first to appear after the winter and bring with them the promise of warmer days to come.
Snowdrops are an uplifting sight, and though it is still likely to be cold out there, it is worth wrapping up warm in clothing like these irish mens sweaters https://www.shamrockgift.com/aran-sweaters/mens-aran-sweaters and going out to see the snowdrops.
Here are some of the best places where you can see snowdrops in the UK…
Easton Walled Garden – In the country of Lincolnshire you will find this beautiful attraction, where you can enjoy the floor of the woodland covered in snowdrops throughout the season.
Shepton Snowdrop Festival – In Somerset, snowdrops have a festival of their own in Shepton, and it is in honour of the horticulturalist James Allen known as the king of snowdrops. As well as the opportunity to see snowdrops, there will also be talks and exhibitions and the opportunity to purchase snowdrops for your own garden.
Hill Close Gardens Head to Warwick to discover a huge range of different snowdrops – over 100 various types in fact! There is even a whole border around the estate with species of snowdrops that go back before 1900, and the gardens celebrate this by holding a snowdrop weekend in early February.
