Snowdrop Events 2010

[Jo]

After such a prolonged blanket of snow, with more forecast for us tomorrow, I think my early opening will be graced with drifts of yellow snowdrops !( and yellow  grass of course )

Has anyone had details of the galanthus gala yet ? I want to organise my accommodation but haven't had my ticket confirmed or turned down

All the places for the Galanthus Gala were sold very very quickly, in less than a week I believe.  I don't think the tickets etc have been sent out yet.   An email to info@monksilvernursery.co.uk might elicit the information you need.

Hi Alan,

thanks for your reply   I must be psychic, is that how its spelt ?   When the post arrived this evening, the first since last Wednesdays snow, there was my ticket    

Now, has anyone had their North Green  catalogue yet ? 

[emma T]

My ticket for the Gala arrived on Saturday  just looking for accommodation now

[Alan_b]

I just scraped in to the Gala by the skin of my teeth, so I'm probably last on the list for tickets.

EDIT: Ticket arrived 12th January

Much less than a week   
The day after I received my letter it was flagged up here as sold out.

Diane are you getting in to snowdrops?

Blacksmith's Cottage Nursery http://www.blackcottnursery.co.uk are holding a snowdrop day with snowdrop fair on 31st January.  They are located in deepest Norfolk.  I have no idea what the event will be like.

Diane are you getting in to snowdrops?  

OH NO, the truth is out, but I've only got 50,  that's not enough to qualify is it, (and I grow them all in pots and I know that's not on   ) so I'm just a snowie lurker      

[mark smyth]

50 is good going. I declare
she has the bug

But I'm not getting ANY MORE  .  (except looking for replacement for three ships which I lost this year  )

Diane,

You're a gardener, you're going to a gala, do you REALLY think you're not going to buy more?  I know that any resolve I would have of the sort would go by the wayside as soon as I got there and saw new precious things for sale.

Maybe it is a good thing we don't have them over here.    I'm already poor enough as it is. 

[mark smyth]

That will be a very expensive Three Ships - petrol, possible overnight in a B&B, Gala costs ..

Tickets would be quite limited I think as "The Potting Shed" is a small venue...unless there is a marquee!  We have had several NCCPG Plant Heritage events there and a couple of dozen round tables has crowded it out - although of course there won't be tables taking up room.  Darkest Norfolk indeed, a very long country lane so hopefully the snow will be over!

Diane,

But I'm not going to the gala, because as soon as I got the letter, it was sold out, there wasn't any chance to book.
