By Kim O'Leary

For Kildare gardening enthusiasts, Spring is perhaps the best month to plant and observe some of the native flowers found in the county as they bloom and now keen gardeners are being invited to see the beautiful snowdrops at Burton House in Athy this month.

This month marks Snowdrop Month and to celebrate it Burton House & Gardens in Athy is offering keen gardeners the chance to observe their flowers, vegetables and woodland gardens as well as the native snowdrops.

An early Georgian villa, Burton House is also surrounded by woodland gardens with beautiful park and farmland walks, perfect for walks.

Burton House is welcoming visitors from Thursday February 1 until Wednesday 28 February.

February has to be one of the most exciting times of the year when the gardens come to life with a spectacular show of winter aconites, snowdrops, hellebores, crocus, cyclamen and much more.
