Root and Bulb Study
"My students are looking forward to digging up their bulbs next month to conclude our tulip study with a root study and to discover how bulbs reproduce. With eight years of 225 bulbs a year, we've been allowing students to take home their 'momma' bulb and any babies it has reproduced. This gives students something to look at and plant at home. It also makes room for next year's Test garden bulbs!"
