The National Garden Scheme has a wonderful selection of gardens that you can view safely from the comfort of your home split into 14 categories ranging from Designer Gardens to Cotswolds Gardens and Urban Retreats. Sadly none are specifically Winter or Snowdrop but in terms of inspiration they are hard to beat. Perfect for compiling a list of gardens to visit post-lockdown.

Royal Botanic Gardens Kew has many videos describing their multi-facetted work including a tour of their Winter Garden
