Schneeglöckchentage im Luisenpark - Der besondere Pflanzenmarkt
- Anne  Repnow's  terrific Mannheim Event ....

HPS event proposed for the 14th Feb in Wiltshire.  Shaftesbury could be on the 13th which is convenient but less romantic.

If I understand correctly, Pam Cruickshank has stepped down from her role as the main organiser of the Shaftesbury Snowdrop Study day.  Shaftesbury Snowdrops have not yet found someone to replace her, so at this time it is not completely certain that there will be a Study Day in 2021.  But if it does take place then by tradition it is on the second Saturday in February and I cannot see why they would break with tradition.

A little update on Schneeglöckchentage im Luisenpark:
After much deliberation we have decided to go ahead with this snowdrop event and plant fair - minus the talks and outside rather than in the great hall. A number of plant fairs have taken place in outside locations in Germany in the past months and there have been no incidents of infection spreading.  (In fact there have been no cases of people getting infected outside.)

So - if things do not get more dramatic or we are thwarted by new regulations Schneeglöckchentage im Luisenpark will take place on February 27 and 28, 2021 in the area around the "Freizeithaus", with stands standing well apart so there won't be a crush.

A forthcoming virtual event is a Zoom webinar by Anne Repnow called "Some Snowdrops" to be broadcast on 6th February.  Unfortunately for SRGC purists, the talk is only open to members of the Hardy Plant Society and Plant Heritage (as the two societies are collaborating to present the webinar).  I don't know if they will widen the booking to all-comers nearer the time.  Anyway, for the benefit of those of us who are members of the appropriate societies, details are here: https://www.plantheritage.org.uk/events/national/some-snowdrops-by-anne-repnow/

Sad news from Harald Alex about the  proposed spring torgau event:
" I am sorry, but in this year we have to cancel because of Corona our 3. Torgau Springflower-Exhbition, which was planned for the 6. and 7. march 2021!  But we intend to start in 1. and 2. october 2021 a "Autumn-flower-exhibtion" with Colchicums, Crocus, Galanthus r-o, Nerines, autumn-cyclamen and many more!
If this will be sucessful, we get the for end september - middle october 2022 during the big LAGA 2022 Torgau a similar big show for more than 2 weeks! We very strong hope of the end of the Corona-Pandemie! Greetings Harald "
