Set in our beautiful landscape, the Festival of Plants celebrates the wonder of plants when the Garden is in full bloom.
A fun-filled, fact-finding day out with something for everyone to enjoy: from gardeners to budding plant scientists; families to photographers or anyone looking to spend an interesting day in the Garden when it is brimming with summer colour.
Stroll around the Garden following our Snowdrop Trail and discover snowdrop facts along the way.
Our free Snowdrop Trail, available at the Garden’s ticket offices, will guide you to the Garden’s snowdrop ‘hot spot walking routes’ where you’ll see our snowdrops growing and discover more about snowdrop science, history, folklore and cultivation from information panels in these areas.
The Snowdrop Trail is free with normal Garden admission. There is no pre-booking required.
