We all need a burst of colour after the rainy start to the year.

Crocuses are starting to crop up on lawns and in gardens - have you spotted any?

There’s a lot of chat about the latest screen adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Did you know we care for a place that has started in THREE previous versions?

Look at this carpet of crocuses at Woolbeding Gardens in Sussex. The surest sign that spring is on its way 🌸

Petworth gallery - then and now...

This watercolour painting by Madeline Campbell shows Petworth's North Gallery as it was in 1865. It doesn't look like much has changed.

Today marked only our second-ever wild beaver release, as a family and a pair of Eurasian beavers were introduced at two sites across the Holnicote Estate on Exmoor in Somerset.

Did you know that in the past, cyclamens were used as love charms?

There's certainly lots to love about the blooms that bring a dash of colour to winter.

The garden has woken up from its winter slumber and it’s a delight to have the arrival of these beautiful snowdrops which seem to be thriving in the somewhat sodden ground.
Small clumps of snowdrops.

Last year, helped by volunteers and visitors, the team at Wallington in Northumberland planted their *1 millionth* snowdrop. It was part of a ten year project and the site is now a destination for snowdrop spotting, with the welcome bloom carpeting the woodlands.

#NationalSnowdropDay
A large stone entrance with an arch to walk under. A path runs up to this. In the grass alongside this path are clumps of white snowdrops in flower. We can just see a family walking in the distance Close up of snowdrops flowering in the grass. Behind them, out of focus, is a large country house. A large cluster of snowdrops growing in a woodland. A person walks by with their dog. They're wearing a hat suggesting it is cold weather.

Today being
#NationalSnowdropDay @nationaltrust.org.uk has given us to the best places on its properties to see the iconic British flower. However, may need only to step into your own gardens. My shots include the ones in our garden and two more from Sheffield Park NT. #Stunday

From left, clockwise: a bank of Snowdrops, their petals furled in the rain on their light green leaves and stems, in front of other garden greenery and a single purple Hellebore bloom; a close up of a pair of Snowdrops in the sun with many more flowers in the background plus green leaves. The sky shows bright blue through bare branches of trees; a rivulet of Snowdrops winds its way through brown autumn leaves, lying on the floor of an area, partly lit by winter sun. The last two pictures are from the National Trust gardens at Sheffield Park near Haywards Heath in East Sussex this week. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro

Where are the best places to spot snowdrops? They thrive in pastures, woods, gardens and orchards across the UK from January to early March.

Here's a list to help you find a snowdrop spot near you: buff.ly/s4UXavw
