We are all very sorry to have to announce that our Snowdrop event at Primrose Bank Nursery near York this weekend has been cancelled. Much of the nursery and the parking field is under standing water, and with more rain and storms forecast for Saturday and Sunday, there was no option but to cancel.
We are sorry for the disappointment this may cause to our visitors.
Sue will have a mini-opening the next weekend, but unfortunately Dryad Nursery will not be able to attend, as we have another function.
Please would you pass the word around to anyone who was planning to come. Thank you.

[Maggi Young]

That's a  shame  Anne -  hope there  is  still a  good  attendance  next weekend  and  the  money  raised  for the  charity  is  substantial.

We are all very sorry to have to announce that our Snowdrop event at Primrose Bank Nursery near York this weekend has been cancelled.

Oh that is disappointing as I had thought this would be the first time that I would be able to attend.  But this is February after all, so the chances of an event being cancelled due to bad weather are quite high.
