Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comWe have a beautiful patch of grass in our garden that is covered in crocuses in early spring. It is a married quarters, military house in Shrivenham, Wiltshire, so I didn’t plant them, but I have looked after them for the 4 years we have been here. There is c urrently re roofing going on all around our patch and a great deal of buildng supplies are being dumped on the lawns (no love lost in military gardens!!). Will the crocuses survive being covered for their whole flowering season? Should I fight hard to have the supplies put somewhere else? Rowena.

You will want to keep them uncovered if you want them to survive. Likely, they will not survive being covered for extended periods.
However, if you cannot get the supplies moved, elsewhere, you can dig up a patch to preserve in container until the work is done. Just be sure to get a very large chunk of soil so that you do not disturb the roots of the patch, at all.
