  This is the time of year to see our gardens at their very best. More details...
Feb - May Bulb ManiaBulb Mania at the Eden Project  – an astonishing show daffodils, tulips and other springtime delights coming to bloom in March, April and May. 2010 will be Eden’s seventh spring festival and it gets better and better with more than a million bulbs being added in successive waves of colour. Come in March for the daffodils, April for the tulips and May for the lilies.
What’s best in February/March?
Tamara, the most popular daffodil used as a cut flower, is in abundance at Eden during January. In February, other early flowering favourites such as Tete-a-tete, Martinette, and Jetfire turn Eden’s acres to gold. March is the peak daffodil month with the rare Eden Gold among the highlights. The spectacular anemone St Piran enhances the show.
Bulb Mania has become a must-see event right up alongside the magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias of the great woodland gardens such as Heligan, Trengwainton and Trebah.
5th March Alice in Wonderland @ Antony
Director Tim Burton chose Antony to be a key location for the new Disney adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, which is out in cinemas on 5 March 2010*. Since filming took place at Antony in 2008, we've been inspired to create our own magical wonderland. The house, garden and estate will all be transformed so you can enjoy our tea parties, walk through scenes from the dream-like stories of Alice, and even meet our own Mad Hatters. Visit the Anthony website or see below for event details.
* Alice in Wonderland is released across the UK on 5 March on 2D, Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D® screens.
5th March St Piran's Day - Patron Saint of CornwallSt Pirans day 2005
Cornwall’s patron saint, St Piran, is the patron saint of tinners from whom the county’s flag takes its name. Over the centuries many pilgrims have visited the site of St Piran's Oratory or Chapel in the towans at Perran Sands. On the nearest Sunday to his special day, March 5, hundreds of people come from all over Cornwall and beyond come to remember and honour him. St Piran’s Tide occurs surrounding the date March 5 and has evolved around St Piran’s Day to provide a week-long event of festivities taking place throughout Cornwall. A highlight of the week are colourful processions with music and dance though Bodmin and Truro on St Piran’s Day itself, and also a re-enactment of St Piran’s arrival in Cornwall on Perran Sands, Perranporth, on the Sunday closest to the 5th of March - St Pirans Play.
