Snowdrops at Colesbourne Park





February is the month for snowdrops. There are many gardens within reach of London that feature these lovely Spring flowers, including Colesbourne Park.In 1874 Henry John Elwes discovered the snowdrop that bears his name, Galanthus elwesii, in the mountains of Turkey. Since then, his family have developed one of the finest snowdrop gardens in the country.
