Barnsdale Gardens celebrates Mothering Sunday

As March ushers in the vibrant hues of spring, visitors can explore stunning features including the tranquil Japanese Garden, with its winding slate path linking two distinct styles; the delightful Wildflower Border draped in daffodils, and the Coir Rock Bed showcasing an array of spring bulbs such as Anemone blanda, Scilla, and more.

Visitors can also wander along the Winter Border, adorned with Flowering Cherry, Hellebores, and Magnolia ‘Fairy White’, or meander through the Woodland Walk where Pulmonaria, Forsythia, and other blossoms abound. The sensory indulgence of the Rose Garden, featuring two magnificent flowering cherry trees in full bloom, promises an unforgettable experience.

“Barnsdale Gardens is our sanctuary, a place where nature’s beauty helps us unwind and reconnect,” says Nick Hamilton, owner of Barnsdale Gardens. “This Mothering Sunday, we’re delighted to offer a perfect blend of natural serenity and gourmet indulgence, ensuring a memorable day out for mums and their loved ones.”
