Hoveton Hall’s Winter Woodland Walks take place on two Sundays in 2012, the 12th and 19th February.
“Hoveton Hall Gardens is home to some of the UK’s most uncommon and less well-known plants, alongside the more familiar, much-loved varieties,” says Harry Buxton, whose family own the Estate. “The end of winter is a special time. We have masses of our native wild snowdrops growing in the woods, while in the Spider Garden we have a collection of more unusual species that visitors may not be so familiar with. Visitors will also see wildlife, especially woodland birds including buzzards, tree creepers, nuthatches, sparrow hawks and jays.” (more…)
