Festival of Blossom at Kingston Lacy 

Blossom's fleeting visit is part of its charm – you have to be quick to catch it. It is also unpredictable; an early spring or a late frost can make a big difference to when the blossom is at its magical peak. We expect peak flowering from the end of March but throughout the season, we hope to turn the spotlight on the different beautiful blossoms both in the garden and around the Kingston Lacy estate to help you see it at its best. Look out for a specially curated playlist to download and a touring Blossom 'vending machine', and don't forget to capture and share your pictures with #BlossomWatch using our smart phone photography posts.
