London’s oldest botanic garden welcomes visitors to enjoy its 9-day snowdrop extravaganza. Discover dozens of unusual, rare and fascinating types on our Snowdrop Trail. Wander through the wood with its sea of 10,000 new snow drops and admire the huge diversity of special snowdrops on display in the Snowdrop Theatre. A wide selection of snowdrops and other winter-flowering plants from special nurseries will also be on sale, not to mention the Garden’s own winter-flowering specimens both in the glasshouses and outdoors.

Expert volunteer guides will be on hand to lead tours of the Garden while the Gift and Book Shop will offer a wide range of Garden and snowdrop related products and gifts. Enjoy a delicious brunch or a warming lunch and mulled wine at the Garden’s renowned Tangerine Dream Café.  The programme of special talks and workshops includes:
