Snowdrop Days at York Gate - Friends of Perennial

We invite Friends of Perennial to visit our stunning snowdrop displays at York Gate.

The delicate charm of our ever expanding snowdrop collection brings life to the garden introducing the new season.

Snowdrops have been a favourite at York Gate since the first three bulbs were bought by Robin Spencer for three shillings and six pence. These original bulbs are now naturalising through the Dell and Nutwalk. The original seedlings were selected from Samuel Arnott’s garden in Dumfries, Scotland.

We’re looking forward to the snowdrops putting on a beautiful show, though some are popping up sooner than expected. We can’t promise a full display on every visit, but the garden will still be a delight to explore.
