A full programme is planned for the year ahead.
On the weekend of 8-9 February, gardeners can purchase snowdrops and spring bulbs from RHS Gold Medal winning nursery Millwood Plants, to complement the huge range of plants and bulbs on offer in the Rosemoor Plant Centre.
There is plenty more to come too, with a packed events programme planned for the whole year at the gorgeous gardens just outside Great Torrington.
A highlight is the arrival of the much-loved characters from the children’s classic Guess How Much I Love You, by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram, in a special garden trail which will run throughout 2025.
Launching at February half-term, young visitors will be able to enjoy this playful, interactive trail which re-enacts some of the adventures of the iconic Little Nutbrown Hare, while exploring the many colours, textures and shapes found in nature. A programme of seasonal activities is also planned to accompany the trail through the year.
The full events schedule truly has something for everyone, featuring crafts, classic cars, cooking, and art – see full listings below:
