Shepton Showdrops Festival: Garden Experts Panel
Shepton Snowdrops Festival event
We are delighted to host a lively and practical gardening panel at Kilver Court as part of the Shepton Snowdrops Festival.
This interactive session invites you to bring your spring gardening questions to a panel of experienced horticultural professionals, ready to share advice, ideas and inspiration.
Whether you are planning new planting for the season ahead, tackling a tricky space, searching for late winter or early spring colour, or hoping to rescue a much-loved problem plant, this is a chance to hear thoughtful, practical guidance from experts working at some of the region’s best-known gardens.
The panel brings together a wealth of experience across historic landscapes, public gardens and professional horticulture, offering a broad and balanced perspective.
