Snowdrops at Painswick Rococo Garden
Saturday 17 January - Saturday 28 February 2026
Spectacular Annual Display of Naturalised Snowdrops
Famed for having one of the largest naturalistic plantings of snowdrops in the country, the hidden valley that forms the Rococo Garden is carpeted in white for a few magical weeks at the start of spring. This breathtaking seasonal display is a highlight of the Gloucestershire garden calendar.
There are fifteen known varieties of snowdrop throughout the garden, including the famous Galanthus ‘Atkinsii’. This tall and distinctive bloom was first discovered in Painswick in the 1800s by estate worker James Atkins, giving the flower its enduring name.
