If you like to keep flowers in your house, winter can be a challenge. It is too cold for local flowers and grocery store options are limited. Fortunately, there is a wonderful and relatively easy alternative available - forcing bulbs. Forcing is a method of growing plants that makes or forces them to flower at a different time than they would under normal conditions. The world of bulbs offers a great variety of shapes and colors to delight you at home before spring arrives.

 Once you have learned how to make this happen, you can unleash your creativity to create interesting pots of one or many varieties at home. Indoor bulb gardens bloom and trigger our endorphins at their very sight. Who doesn’t need a lift when the nights are still so long and the temperatures are low?

Come and join us for this workshop on how to prepare bulbs for indoor blooms. We will review the timetables for forcing various bulbs, discuss potting mixes, and storage options.  

Select from the bulbs we have prepared and pot up your own bulb garden to take home. Selection choices include early Narcissus, Hyacinth and Iris.  When the bulbs have bloomed out, plant them in your garden for blooms next year.

Workshop is limited to 7 people.
