Planting Bulbs
Plant some bulbs now, add a little water and cool temperatures, wait several months for the first warming rays of the springtime sun, and, voila — a little magic occurs! A beautiful, vibrantly hued flower garden emerges out of the earth.
Flowering bulbs can create spectacular year-round displays in our landscapes, but spring-flowering bulbs such as crocus, daffodils, and hyacinths, have a special place in our hearts. These cheerful bloomers signal the arrival of warmer weather and longer days, but to enjoy them next spring, you must plant now before the ground freezes. This month we explore bulbs and offer ideas and inspiration for incorporating them into your indoor curriculum or gardening programs.
