I've been encountering the ghosts of @CUBotanicGarden Christmases past in our image library today. Here are a group of our trainee gardeners (including Roy Lancaster I believe) enjoying themselves at the staff Xmas party, early 1960s!

Don't panic, it isn't a zombie uprising - it's just the Dead Man's Fingers fungus (Xylaria polymorpha)! #Halloween

@barbmilne If you happen to be in the area it is Apple Day here this Sunday and Ribston pippin will be available in the tasting tent (crop permitting)!

[CUBG Cory Library @CoryLibrary]

@barbmilne Yes! Plate 25 in vol. 1. Including a sad little drawing of what was apparently the original tree. #ribstonpippin #herefordshirepomona

[CUBG Cory Library @CoryLibrary]

Did you hear about the librarian who slipped over? She was working in the non-friction section... Happy #librariesweek! #libraryjokes

[CUBG Cory Library @CoryLibrary]

@ca1851 You're welcome!

[CUBG Cory Library @CoryLibrary]

Good enough to eat! Read about the tasty-looking illustrations in our Herefordshire pomona (1875-86) here: https://t.co/9Z3bLqJcsQ

Welcomed the new crop of horticultural trainees to the library this morning! Now we're off to @plantsci for a tour of the library there.

[CUBG Cory Library @CoryLibrary]

Excited today to be moving the first batch of our early (pre 19th century) books to their new home on our brand new shelving! Very smart :)

[CUBG Cory Library @CoryLibrary]

@Girlinthe Could they be bittern?

[CUBG Cory Library @CoryLibrary]

Had a great time reading at this morning's Garden storytime with @CUBGEducation! Love books, love gardens; what a great message for kids :)
