Cambo gardens, including a Victorian walled garden and informal woodland garden, boasts 300 varieties of specialist snowdrops. Current owner, Peter Erskine, who planted the snowdrops and Catherine, Peter's wife, who set up the mail order business selling 'snowdrops in the green' in 1986 having read articles recommending planting snowdrops in leaf rather than the traditional dried bulbs in autumn. Her collection, which is being added to yearly, is the largest specialist snowdrop collection in Scotland.

This year the Cambo event on offer is Snowdrops by Starlight (which might call for impeccable weather timing!)

The Festival gardens participating throughout Scotland this year are open from February 1 until March 16  with a region by region list of gardens  involved. Some, like Cambo, are open daily; others may have specified open days within the period.
