Winter Wander At Wollerton Old Hall

One of Shropshires most manacured gardens is preparing to throw open its doors to let visitors in for a ‘winter wander’. Snowdrops, hellebores, hamamellis and other plants provide colour at this time. Ask the head gardener how to add colour to your own winter garden.
Chase away those winter blues, wrap up warm and visit the garden when it is not normally open.  The Head Gardener will be on hand for tours around the garden and the Tea Room will be open.

Sunday, 27 February 2011 10am-4pm

Admission £5.50 per person

For those not able to attend, the garden has its own website where you can take a virtual tour.
