"After our world-renowned Tulip Festival in April, the Allium Extravaganza is one of the highlights of our gardening calendarWith the castle as a dramatic backdrop, these exquisite blooms create a truly mesmerising displayAlliums are not only visually stunning but also play a key role in supporting wildlife, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterfliesWe also have over 12,000 Camassia that are due to flower in May too, so whether you're a keen gardener or simply appreciate nature's beauty, this is an event not to be missed."
