Yellow Crocus Day 2023 Report

On Saturday 25 February 2023 the Friends of the Storey Gardens held their annual Yellow Crocus Day event.

The weather was dry but cold.  We had a total of 171 visitors over the two hours we were in The Tasting Garden greeting people.

As well as the yellow crocus display we set up a short self-guided trail around the borders of the garden.  There were 10 stops on the trail.  At each stop there was an interesting plant to see.

Below are some photos of the day including plants on the trail.
