Spring Blooming Bulbs: Nature’s Way of Saying “Let’s Party!” – Webinar

Spring is nature’s way of saying “Let’s party!” and the party planning starts in the fall. Debbie LaGattuta, a certified Rutgers Master Gardener from Monmouth County will highlight major springtime bulbs that we all know and love (daffodils, tulips, hyacinths) as well as minor springtime bulbs (like snow drops, squill, and scilla) that you might not be familiar with. You’ll learn design concepts, how to plant eye-catching combinations, the right time to plant based on bulb type, how to achieve six months of blooming bulbs, and the basics of planting and nurturing bulbs. This presentation is packed with gorgeous photos and descriptions of dozens of spring-blooming bulbs.  Let’s tiptoe through the tulips together!
