15 Feb - 8 Mar
Snowdrops & spring bulbs
Spring is a lovely time to visit Kentwell's Gardens. The shrubbery and back wood are carpeted with snowdrops, with little pockets of aconites. The rest of the gardens are charming as their winter starkness is banished by emerging springtime shoots.
The perfect day out this half term!
