Harvey's ‘CELEBRATION OF SNOWDROPS’ 2017
« on: January 21, 2017, 01:32:42 PM »
The madness begins with Harvey's ‘CELEBRATION OF SNOWDROPS’ sale today, a week ahead of Myddelton this year!

Some forumists were in action:

Emma, taking various orders ready for the rush!

Emma again, in action on the Glen Chantry stall with Wol Staines.

Josh Nelson re-fueling ready for the charge :)

Paul Barney on the Edulis stall with Hilary.

Val Bexley on the Woodchippings stall at the back of the throng!

Great event with some fantastic bulbs, never been so glad to see a Ghost :),  and opportunity to discuss the past and current season with old and new friends!

Isn't it wonderful how we all re-emerge in January, just like the snowdrops?  Good to meet up with old friends and make some new ones.  Yes, it was a very enjoyable event and not crowded, so there was no need to sharpen elbows!  That's me behind Emma at the Glen Chantry stall. I  bought five including Gwen,Ladybird, and Vera Trum and came home a happy bunny.

Looks a chilly day - but dry?  Sales undercover by the looks of it?  Hope you all had fun and found some new treasures.

Yes it was raw, even though we went into polytunnels for the sale.  Lovely to meet up with people again after the enforced break (what break?) in the snowdrop season.  Not many people there I thought which meant it wasn't mayhem and some nice treasures available for those silly enough to buy them - guilty yer honour ;D
