The popular Snowdrop Festival is back again for 2009 at our Edinburgh, Dawyck and Logan Gardens.

Visit the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and discover a splendid collection of specialist snowdrops or join one of our many events and celebrate these wonderful little gems in the clarity of light that winter brings to Scotland.
