Snowdrop Gardens & Festivals in the UK
A list of gardens, woodlands, and festivals to visit during snowdrop season 2025
Making lists is one of my favorite activities—there’s something about the blend of hope for the future and commitment to oneself. Plant lists, in particular, soothe the longing for a garden of my own. As I sit in my apartment writing this, I find myself especially drawn to snowdrops, the delicate heralds of hope. While I may not be able to put this list to use just yet, I dream of future travels and springtime strolls through woodlands aglow with their white nodding heads. With snowdrop season beginning in the UK, I thought this might be helpful for those who can enjoy it now. Have you visited any of these enchanting displays?
