We welcome you to enjoy the stunning crocus displays on our lawns and meadows! Following the snowdrops in February, acres of naturalized crocuses (Crocus vernus and tommasinianus) will line pathways and cover our lawns with their wide-open chalices.
The earliest record of Crocus vernus growing at the Abbey dates back to over a hundred years. Since then, they have self-sown and beautifully naturalized in our 30 acres of gardens and meadows. Each year, we add a few more to areas needing a boost, and we're thrilled with the results. It's the perfect time of the year for pollinators to come out, bask in the sunshine, and enjoy the nectar.
Elsewhere in the garden, the wild daffodils (Narcissus lobularis), clumps of Lenten roses (Helleborus x hybridus) and splashes of Chionodoxa and winter flowering shrubs will also be at their best this month. Come along and go for a stroll amongst the carpets of Crocus.
Free Entry to Forde Abbey and Historic House Members.
