Although we always knew that a lot of people stand in line to see our annual Bulb Show, without accurate data we had no conception of exactly how many people were in those crowds. We were thrilled to discover that the Bulb Show this year captured the attention of 13,250 people anxiously awaiting signs of spring. Volunteers diligently took shifts during the two weeks of the March show and counted the people as they came. We surveyed over 200 of those visitors and about a third of them were first timers. We are continuing the counting process using a sampling technique to ascertain the annual visitation to the Conservatory. We will be counting each visitor at the fall Chrysanthemum Show. We hope we can count you in.  |
