Snowdrops 2021
Following advice we have reluctantly decided not to open for Snowdrops this season. We are in a rural location and visitors need to travel to visit. We feel this goes against the spirit of the current Lockdown. We hope to reopen in late Spring.

Snowdrops 2021
We had planned to open in February in time for the Snowdrop season. However, with the present lockdown we feel we are unable to do so. Therefore, the gardens remain closed for the foreseeable future.
This decision has not been taken lightly and we have given much consideration to the current guidelines and advice from authorities. The Government guidance does allow gardens to open for daily exercise, but not for recreation. However, the guidance instructs that people stay local, in their own village, town or area of their city. Because Brightwater Gardens are in a rural area, visitors need to travel to visit, making it hard to abide by the current travel restrictions and we feel it goes against the spirit of this lockdown for us to reopen.
We feel that we need to act responsibly, and we have a duty of care to ensure the safety of our staff, visitors, and local community at this critical time in trying to control the virus. Whilst we understand it is disappointing not to be able to visit us, we hope you will support and understand this decision.
We hope to open in the late Spring and will update in due course.

This was one of the first trees I planted over 40 years ago. During the past few years it has suffered the ravages of Ash Dieback (caused by the Hymenoscyphus fraxineus fungus).Before it becomes dangerous on our 'snowdrop walk' we felled it yesterday. 'Farewell old friend'.
