Show your ‘Hope in Nature’ for a brighter, healthier 2021.
Let's celebrate the Snowdrop. Create your own, real or handmade, pen a poem or write a story.  Show your snowdrops and poems where others can see them, in your window or garden. Send pictures, poems and stories to us and we'll publish them on our website and social media.

The early green shoots and delicate flowers of the snowdrop signal the start of a new year, the promise of spring, and fresh hope for healthier times ahead. The healing power of nature, plants, trees and gardens is well known. For many people they're a lifeline during these times of Lockdown, helping them to cope with loneliness and giving them a sense of wellbeing.

 Snowdrop Festival Community challenge 
Children are home schooling, parents are coping with the extra challenge of children at home. Are you a talented artist or maker? Can you organise a virtual snowdrop craft workshop online?
