Visitors to the festival will be able to enjoy lots of brilliant moments in the new bloom with events including woodland walks throughout Scotland, a Snowdrops by Starlight illuminated event at Cambo Estate and the more unusual opportunity to taste specially created Snowdrop Scones with afternoon tea at Cringletie House.
A diverse range of over 60 gardens, some of which open exclusively for the festival, will showcase their snowdrops in walled gardens, urban retreats, historic castles and churchyards. Many of the venues offer high quality local food in their restaurants and cafés, which visitors can enjoy after wandering through the idyllic displays.
New gardens taking part this year include The Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh was founded in the 17th century as a physic garden. Now it extends over four Gardens boasting a rich living collection of plants, and is a world-renowned centre for plant science and education. During the Scottish Snowdrop Festival guided tours will showcase the Royal Botanic Garden’s collection of specialist snowdrops.
