The daffodils have been limbering up on the sidelines and are now set to steal the spotlight from the snowdrops. With the help of volunteers, garden supporters, and corporate volunteer groups, we have planted approximately 100,000 daffodils over the last six years. Planting bulbs on this scale is physically demanding, and we want to express our immense gratitude to all the volunteers who assisted - their help was invaluable!

Our stunning display is already underway, and as each variety blooms at slightly different times, the view will be magnificent throughout February and March.

For those eager to learn about the various daffodil varieties planted and their approximate blooming timings, keep reading!
