September 2005 Kids Garden News So..why are we focusing on spring-blooming bulbs in September? Since most of these bulbs need to experience a period of cold weather in order to bloom, fall planting ensures a spectacular spring show. In this issue we explore the world of bulbs and provide lesson ideas for incorporating bulbs into your curriculum. We also spotlight a Vermont school garden program that received a 2004 Kids Growing with Dutch Bulbs Award. Don’t miss the Plant of the Month, Resources, and News pages! Please e-mail our editor with your questions or suggestions. We'd love to hear from you!

Spring-flowering
bulbs are some of the most beloved plants of all time.
This group includes favorites such as tulips, daffodils,
crocus, and hyacinths. Blooming throughout
the spring months, these special plants produce bright,
cheery and often fragrant flowers that herald the
return of warmer weather.
