The Yeo Valley Organic Garden in Blagdon will be opening its gates for the first time in 2022 in support of the Shepton Snowdrop Festival on Thursday 24th – Sunday, 27th February, 10am – 4pm, ahead of its reopening for the new season in April.

All entrance fees will be donated to the community group.

Shepton Mallet Snowdrop Festival is organised by the not- for-profit community group, Shepton Mallet Snowdrop Project. The festival is a fun-packed few days celebrating gardening, walks, workshops, specialist nurseries, art and of course snowdrops, which is perfect for friends and families ahead of the spring season.

Sarah Mead, Head Gardener at Yeo Valley Organic Garden said “We’ve planted swathes of ‘drops through the meadows and woodland over the past five years providing the perfect opportunity to showcase them for this festival. We’re really looking forward to welcoming everybody for the 2022 season.”

Visitors will be able to enjoy the snowdrop’s and explore the garden that inspired The Yeo Valley Organic show garden at last year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show, designed by Tom Massey and Sarah Mead, that won an RHS Gold Medal and BBC/RHS People’s Choice Award. The steam bent oak ‘egg’ hide designed and handcrafted by Tom Raffield will also be in prime position.
