Snowdrop Season at Altamont Gardens: A Spring Celebration of Nature’s First Bloom
This is a fantastic opportunity to explore Altamont Garden’s unique snowdrop collection, which was first started by the late Corona North, the former owner of the gardens. Over the past twenty years, the collection has been expanded and nurtured by the OPW (Office of Public Works), and now features almost 150 named varieties. Now in its 25th year, Snowdrop Month at Altamont is an event that no gardening enthusiast should miss.
