Background

Journey South News

  • Tulip Garden Update: September 18, 1998
    Who will plant the first Journey North garden this fall? We're waiting for the first report. But before you plant yours, take a close look at your bulbs. You'll be depending on them to proclaim spring's arrival. Maybe there are some things you should know about them first.
  • Tulip Garden Update: October 16, 1998
    The first forty Journey North gardens have now been planted! Make a map with today's data, then consider if planting date might affect the tulip's growth next spring. What would happen if you planted your tulips upside down, anyway? (And other ideas for experiments.)
  • Tulip Garden Update: November 13, 1998
    Another 105 gardens have been planted since last month's update, for a grand total of 145 gardens! Classrooms have reported gardens from all across North America and even Scotland too. As you are busy mapping today's data, how would you describe the geographic pattern you see? Do you think the gardens will grow and bloom in the same order?
  • Tulip Garden Update: December 11, 1998
    Make room for more gardens! Another 119 have been planted. How do you think this warm fall will affect your tulips?
