2024 Calendar of Daffodil Garden Openings, Daffodil Shows, & Daffodil Events
Daffodils are full of spring cheer! I want to brighten up your spring and so I’ve created this calendar of daffodil events. If you’re holding a daffodil talk, daffodil walk, daffodil garden opening, or daffodil show, do let me know and I’ll add your event to this calendar.
I hope this article helps you to find beautiful daffodil gardens to visit; as well as some lovely, fun, and interesting daffodil events to attend in 2024.
How to Use this Calendar
This calendar is dynamic and will update as I add new events. Please don’t waste paper or resources printing this calendar and remember to check back for new events as I add them!
The events are grouped by geographical area, so you can use the filter hierarchy to select events near you – e.g., just click ‘Surrey’ to limit the page to only display events in the county of Surrey or click ‘South East’ if you would prefer to see events in that part of the country.
To search for events by month – just click on your preferred month below. NB. This calendar is displayed over multiple pages, so it’s possible that you may need to skip to the next page – if you’re looking for events further ahead.
Please note: to make it easier for you to find events, I have created a page divider, which you’ll find right at the very top of this page. Click on the red text for the particular month or area you wish to see events for.
I have added many events to this calendar; to see later events you will need to scroll to the bottom of the calendar (above the Long Running Events section) and click on the next pages to see events further ahead.
NB: Click on ‘Long Running Events‘ to see events lasting seven days or more – these include some amazing gardens.
When you’ve finished looking through the calendar, you’ll find an upwards facing arrow on the right hand side of the page. Clicking on this arrow will deliver you safely back up to the top of the page, saving you time scrolling!
NB: Please don’t print this calendar out – I update this calendar regularly. I will be adding more dates and events in the coming weeks and months!
If I have missed your event where plants, seeds, bulbs, corms, tubers, or rhizomes, will be sold, swapped, or given, contact me with the full details, and I will add your event to my calendar.
So, without further ado, here are the dates and details for your diaries….
