Snowdrops- East Lambrook Manor Gardens, Somerset
There is something really magical about a Winter garden in bloom. East Lambrook Manor Gardens in Somerset is a true gem to visit in February when the gardens re-opened again for their ‘Festival Of Snowdrops’ display. It has a vast collection of Snowdrops to enjoy, along with flowering quince & hellebores.
‘East Lambrook Manor Gardens is the iconic and quintessentially English cottage garden created by the celebrated 20th-century plantswoman and gardening writer Margery Fish. It was here that she developed her own style of gardening, combining old-fashioned and contemporary plants in a relaxed and informal manner to create a garden of immense beauty and charm. The English Heritage Grade 1 listed garden is characterised by many winding paths through abundant borders and is renowned as the premier example of the English cottage garden style.’ Extract from East Lambrook Manor Gardens website.

Such a beautiful way to see the different varieties of Snowdrops in pots in display around the garden.

Really loved the snowdrops in the banks of the garden planted with the hellebores.
A lovely idea for adding some colour to your late winter garden is planting crocus bulbs into the lawn areas.
A truly beautiful garden packed with inspiration for adding some late winter colour to your own garden xx
