Coming very soon! The first wee sign of spring - snowdrops, and lots of them. Cambo Gardens, only a few minutes' drive from Crail on the St Andrews road, will once again host their hugely popular Snowdrop Spectacular from the 1st of February to the 15th March. Seventy acres of woodland will be carpeted in snowdrops, snowflakes and aconites and there is a lovely walk down to the sea. Planned for this year is a 'Snowdrops by Starlight' illuminated walk from the 12th to the 28th February. Trees, buildings and bridges in the beautiful grounds will be lit up. Not to be missed!
Cambo is listed in Historic Scotland's inventory of designed landscapes and the Victorian gardens will be fascinating to keen gardeners (and hopeless amateurs, like me). You can buy unusual and reasonably priced plants, including snowdrop bulbs. A gift shop and tea room are open Friday to Monday. There's something to appeal to the wee ones too.....piglets!
