Enjoy a spectacular pageant of spring bulbs - the delicate, the bold and the rare – throughout the Gardens at Doddington Hall, heralding the start of spring and the reawakening of the soil in preparation for the warmth of summer.
Beginning in early February with wonderful snowdrops and winter aconites, Cyclamen coum, and Crocus tommasinianus, continuing through March and early April with drifts of Lent lilies and a unique collection of heritage daffodils (including rare Edwardian varieties) and snake’s head fritillaries until May.
The Spring Bulb Pageant was started in the 1950s by Claire Birch's grandparents Ralph and Antonia Jarvis. Claire’s father Antony Jarvis and late mother Victoria continued the work and Antony estimates that he has planted or moved 150,000 bulbs in the last 25 years.
