The gardens will also host a Snowdrop drawing event on the afternoon of Saturday, February 10.

"You will be working from a still life of Hill Close snowdrops brought in and set up in the comfort of an indoor studio with additional opportunities to go into the garden and photograph the flowers growing outside," organisers said.

"You will be encouraged to work in ways, and with materials that best suit you.

"All that is needed is a love of snowdrops, gardens and Art! All levels welcome."
