The first sign that spring is on its way has to be the mass of bright white snowdrops as their nodding heads begin to carpet the garden. Whether you are a galanthophile or not, these dainty beauties charm us all
FLORAL accents are to be savoured as the garden stirs from winter to the promise of spring. As the days begin to lengthen, stimulating the plant hormones, another season begins to slowly rouse. By late winter a large variety of bulbs, shrubs and trees are ready to burst into a succession of blooms. Throughout February, dainty white galanthus (snowdrops) are celebrated in the National Gardens Scheme’s Snowdrop Festival across the country, and here in Hampshire we have some wonderful gardens to visit where you can join in the admiration, whether you are a true galanthophile, keen collector, or would just like to get outside and enjoy the start of the open garden season.
