Events/Sales 2014

[Maggi Young]

Hello Maggi,
is this date for the RHS Plant & Design Show 2014 correct?:

http://www.exhibitions.co.uk/event/rhs-london-plant-and-design-show-1

I see it gives the dates as  11th - 12th February 2014 - but I can still see no sign of the event on the RHS site - I have emailed the RHS to ask when the dates will be posted on their website.

Edit:  RHS gives dates in email as - RHS London Plant and Design Show - Feb 18-19  2014

[Maggi Young]

I have been given these dates by the RHS -
- RHS London Plant and Design Show - Feb 18-19
- RHS Great London Plant Fair - April 1-2
- RHS London Orchid & Botanical Art Show - April 11-12

Can't help  feeling it would be more useful for them  to get these dates on their website sooner though!

I see from Matt's newsletter that Harveys Garden plants Bury St Edmunds is having a snowdrop sale on the same day as I was told the HPS group is having their meeting.

The words "splitting" "half" and "yourself" spring to mind?

[MargaretB]

Yippee!  We won't have to split ourselves in half in February.  The HPS Galanthus Group Secretary has just confirmed to me that the info in their last Newsletter is correct and their 'do' is on Sunday 16th February at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire.

Off to book a hotel now while there are some £29 rooms left!

 Forward planning - good for you, Margaret!

Wouldn't it be good if the Gala was in the vicinity!! Gala one day HPS the next... here's hoping.

Thanks for changing the date on the previous listing Maggi

Shouldn't that be 'twin scaling' David

Are you opening your garden for snowdrops in 2014, Jo?

[Jo]

Hi Alan,  yes I'm opening the garden on Sunday 2nd and Friday 14th of February.  And I was out there yesterday planting last years bunch of snowdrop purchases.
Tom has been leveling the lawn and building me some raised beds so I've been having to fill them, shame 

[Lina Hesseling]

Hagen Engelmann, I found that you give a talk in Munster, Germany. Do you give more  talks in northern Germany or in The Netherlands?
I would love to go.

Lina.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Hello Lina,
here is the info about the coming talk,
not in Münster but in Düsseldorf,
organised by GdS:

"Schneeglöckchen zwischen Elbe und Oder - German Galanthus Gems".
 Hagen Engelmann aus Schorbus spricht über die östlichen Schneeglöckchen
 zwischen Elbe und Oder.
 Uhrzeit: 11:00 Uhr
 Ort: Botanischer Garten Düsseldorf (Hintereingang Verwaltungsgebäude)
 (Eintritt 5 Euro)

Hello Lina,
the talk of Hagen in Düsseldorf is on the 23.November 2013.
If you intend to come I can give you all necessary informatiom.
It could be a good chance to get to know German Galantophiles.
You can contact me at every time.

[Lina Hesseling]

Thank you Hagen and Ulli for the information.
The talk in Munster is by Michael Dreisvogt about snowdrops on 16th of november. I was wrong ofcourse. In facebook someone mentioned your talk and I mixed it up. Sorry about this.
The 23 of november I have a diner with 16 gardenfriends at my house. A little difficult to change the date for such a diner. So it is impossible for me to go to Dusseldorf.
It is a pity.

But there will be other chances to hear you maybe in the future. Can you please put the information here in the forum?

Thanks,
Lina.

What are the RHS up to - I now see from the RHS website that they have moved the February Show to Fri 21st/Sat 22nd February - seriously inconvenient!!!  Another part of their website says the 18th/19th February - really wish they would sort this out, causing all sorts of problems here!!
