The annual snowdrop sale in Arboretum Kalmthout brings together specialist nurseries and growers together with snowdrop enthusiasts, fanciers and collectors – known as galanthophiles after the Latin name for snowdrops, Galanthus. A selection of named snowdrops will be available for sale at the arboretum plant center as well, opened daily from 10AM to 5PM.

This year's Snowdrop Festival highlights a talk by expert Wim Boens (in Dutch).
