With thousands of tulips, spring bedding, cherry and apple blossom galore, magnolias, early rhododendrons, hyacinths, camassias and bluebells, there’s much to celebrate in the grounds.
The two week celebration will feature twice daily tours in week 1 with the gardening team, while in week 2 the gardening team will be offering gardening workshops.
