NGS: It’s never too early in the year to rekindle your love of gardens. From stately acres in the grounds of historic homes to idyllic country plots and urban secrets there are gardens opening for the National Garden Scheme across the country for you to explore and fall in love with this Valentine’s Day … and into the weekend beyond.
Be inspired by the beautiful bare bones of winter gardens and the uplifting blooms of snowdrops, crocus, aconites, iris, hellebores, early blossom and more!
“Visits to our snowdrop and spring flower gardens are always a popular start to the garden visiting season,” says National Garden Scheme chief executive, George Plumptre. “And our research in 2024 gave us more of an insight into why that is. While existing research generally links the health benefits of garden visiting to the summer months when most gardens are at their abundant best, our latest research highlights the benefits of visiting in winter and, as well as comparing those to visiting in summer, shows how a winter visit helps combat the particular seasonal challenges that we all face at that time of year.”
So why not swop the winter blues for the delights of a garden visit this February and renew your love affair with gorgeous gardens. Most gardens have homemade refreshments and plant sales too.
