Burston Nurseries to hold primrose festival

26 November 2012, by Jonathan Tilley

Burston Nurseries will hold a primrose festival in February next year with belgian breeder Rudy Raes Bloemzaden.

The festival, taking place on February 11-15 2013, will feature over 80 different primrose varieties from the Rudy Raes breeding programme.

They will be displayed in a range of containers - Jumbo, D6 packs, 2 litre, 10.5cm & 9cm pots – and there will be a display of added value planted pots, containers and baskets.

The event will take place at Burston Nurseries in St Albans and there will be a chance to have a guided tour of the primrose, bedding plant and rose production facilities.

Burston and Rudy Raes have been working together for 15 years to produce primroses and polyanthus.

I will not be importing oaks this season. Will you?

I find myself in a difficult situation. A few weeks ago I was fortunate to be present to hear details of imminent changes to regulations concerning Oak Processionary Moth (OPM) and oak trees. I heard details, asked questions and probed the implications of these changes. That may not sound like a difficult position to be in, yet I am uneasy.

Lobby groups jumping onto fashionable campaigns, often to promote their own interests, can do much more harm than good. Take, for example, the move against black polythene plant pots and containers.
