For those who attended from a distance you might like to see the fairly accurate report of the weekend in the local rag:http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/environment/snowdrops_are_appreciated_in_east_tuddenham_and_langmere_1_4400419
In the earlier stages of putting the event together there was mention of a local radio involvement. Did that not come to anything in the end?Excellent picture, of course David.
... it would be interesting to know where that information came from?
The snowdrop gallery is super -
I completely agree, Maggi. I had never heard of "Novers Green" before and now I've rather fallen in love with it.
As far as I can remember it came from some early publicity put out by Ben Potterton (of Blacksmiths Cottage Nursery) on social media. The (his?) idea at that time was to bill the Plant Heritage event last Saturday and his event the following day as a Norfolk Snowdrop Weekend. I guess this idea was not carried forward into actual publicity, although it lodged in the minds of a few of us - like Mark Smyth who travelled a long way in order to make a weekend of the two events.I thought the Plant Heritage event was very successful and the way you coped with the absence of one of your two billed speakers was admirable. The people on the sales tables possibly had a difficult time in trying to supply both the galanthophile and the non-galanthophile alike. The display of snowdrops put on by the MacLennans was excellent and perhaps deserved a more prominent position in the room? And giving away a named snowdrop to all attendees was an original idea that I'm sure will get a few more people hooked on snowdrops. I got a pot with two bulbs of 'Colossus' which, to buy, would surely have cost the price of admission to the event.
