Snowdrops Surround Your Garden Studio

Snowdrops Surround Your Garden Studio

By Emma Heaton on 9th November, 2011

Snowdrops are a reminder that winter is here; they are the type of snow that everyone appreciates. Subtle and elegant, they are a perfect ingredient to creating the wonderful winter surroundings for your garden studio. Delicate white petals hang over small bright green stems, even though snowdrops are very tiny additions to your garden, the cluster that they grow in creates a white coverage over frosted soil.

Your winter garden studio is not complete without a selection of white petals outlining the edges of your garden building and blurring the transition from a man-made structure to a gleaming white, natural backdrop. A garden studio will provide the necessary shelter to guard the flowering winter plants from the harshest of weather that hits during the coldest season. They have special hardened tips to get them through the snow but any protection for the frost will help them to survive.

There are four different types of snowdrop:
Nivalis - The common snowdrop, this type of snowdrop likes to grow in light woodland.

Elwesii - This is the largest snowdrop that you can get, it likes dry places to grow and is usually found tucked away around the bases of trees.

Plicatus - Again this type is better sheltered, it is very easily grown. This type is more suitable to tuck around your garden studio.

Woronowii - This comes from the Caucasus and belongs to a group of snowdrops that have green leaves.

Snowdrops are the ideal way to make your garden look happy and festive when all of the other plants are in hibernation. It is an uplifting plant that will lift your mood as the depressive weather sets in. Lining the pathways and surrounding the garden studio, it will make the walk out of the house and to your office space much more pleasant during the winter.
