Arboretum’s Inspirational Gardens
Offers a specialist snowdrop programme that is sure to inspire gardeners and visitors alike.
Arboretum’s Inspirational Gardens, created in 2010 by founder Rachel Doyle, serve as a stunning backdrop for the early bloomers that signal the start of the gardening year. Rachel often says that the snowdrops “wake up” the gardens, as they are the first to flower every spring, setting the stage for the garden’s continuous seasonal transformation. 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.
