Stunning snowdrops open the spring event season at RHS Rosemoor, with a full programme planned for the year ahead
Visit RHS Garden Rosemoor between Saturday 1 and Friday 14 February to admire drifts of beautiful snowdrops, signalling the start of spring.
For two weeks you can join an expert on a free, guided Snowdrop Walk through the garden every day at noon, to learn more about this species and other early spring-flowering bulbs. Just make sure you arrive early as places are offered on a first-come first-served basis!
Alternatively, families can follow a fun garden trail to find the best Snowdrop displays in their own time, taking in the two dedicated play areas while they are exploring.
On the weekend of 8-9 February, gardeners can also purchase snowdrops and spring bulbs from RHS Gold Medal winning nursery Millwood Plants, to complement the huge range of plants and bulbs on offer in the Rosemoor Plant Centre.
What better excuse could there be to get out and enjoy some spring sunshine?
There is plenty more to come too, with a packed events programme planned for the whole year at the gorgeous gardens just outside Great Torrington.
A highlight is the arrival of the much-loved characters from the children’s classic Guess How Much I Love You, by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram, in a special garden trail which will run throughout 2025.
Launching at February half-term, young visitors will be able to enjoy this playful, interactive trail which re-enacts some of the adventures of the iconic Little Nutbrown Hare, while exploring the many colours, textures and shapes found in nature. A programme of seasonal activities is also planned to accompany the trail through the year.
The full events schedule truly has something for everyone, featuring crafts, classic cars, cooking, and art – see full listings below:
