There's something so uplifting about seeing the spring flowers coming through and bringing colour to our gardens again. It's a lovely time to visit gardens like Cliveden, Stowe, Hughenden and Greys Court as the delicate snowdrops give way to the bright colours of daffodils, crocuses and spring bulbs.
From Sat 15 March to Sun 23 March, anyone with a valid National Lottery ticket can visit select National Trust places for free. This means you can bring a whole bunch of friends on your next visit and show them what you love about your favourite places. Thanks to the money the National Lottery raises for good causes every week, the National Trust has received £150 million since 1994. This has paid for major conservation projects and helps us make nature, beauty and history more accessible to everyone. Click for a list of participating places.
The best places to see daffodils are at Cliveden in Buckinghamshire - this place is sunshine yellow in March. There are lots of different cultivars that flower at different times throughout the season including the unusual heirloom variety Narcissus Actea. This has white petals and a yellow centre edged with red. Ascott has 1.5million daffodils lining its driveway and they should be in full flower when it reopens on 18 March. Waddesdon has a whole valley named after the flower, you can't miss it as you wander the gardens.
Several houses in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire are throwing open their doors and reopening for the season in March. Find out dates and opening times here.
