The Nightingale House Sunshine Meadow returns to Chirk Castle for its 5th Anniversary. The National Trust welcomed the Sunshine Meadow to Chirk with a beautiful sunflower display five years ago. Since then, the annual Sunshine Meadow's flowers of choice have been poppies, bluebells, and forget-me-nots. This year, the magnificent grounds of Chirk Castle will be adorned with the perennially popular snowdrop.

The partnership between Nightingale House and The National Trust has developed over time. The Wrexham-based hospice helps children deal with loss and ‘The Woodland Wellbeing Days’ held at Erddig Hall's grounds provide breathtaking scenery for children to engage their senses, make new friends, and feel a sense of connectedness with someone else in a similar situation.

Delyth Underwood, Community Fundraiser at Nightingale House said “We are delighted to once again be working in collaboration with The National Trust to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of our Sunshine Meadow. 1000 Snowdrops will be planted at Chirk Castle in front of the Bachelor Tower from 3rd - 30th June 2023.”

The snowdrops are £30 each plus postage. If you would like to purchase a snowdrop please visit: www.nightingalehouse.co.uk/event/sunshine-2023
