Arboretum’s Inspirational Gardens serve as a stunning backdrop for the early bloomers that signal the start of the gardening year. The collection at Arboretum features a few thousand snowdrop bulbs, including the fragrant Galanthus ‘Flore Pleno’, known for its dainty, double-white flowers, and the pure white Galanthus ‘Mount Everest’, a robust variety perfect for naturalising in gardens. Visitors can enjoy the snowdrops in their peaceful, inspirational setting, and for those looking to bring a piece of this beauty home, the Arboretum shop offers a variety of potted snowdrops, including ‘Mount Everest’ and the classic ‘Galanthus Nivalis’.
To complete your day out, the Arboretum offers an expansive plant area, inspiring kitchen store, dedicated health and wellness section, book shop and much more. Round off your visit with a delicious lunch or snack in Rachel’s Garden Café.
