Tulip Garden Update: January 6, 2006

Tulip Garden Update: December 2, 2005
Gardeners are digging in with a record number of gardens planted since our last update. Start some research in your own backyard (hint: you need a soil thermometer). Print and use an easy JN journal. Study our interactive map and then play some Hide and Seek. And a challenging question about our European gardens.

November brings a map showing over 170 tulip gardens planted. Study our maps to explain the fast-paced planting the past few weeks. Does it matter when you plant your bulbs? Test your theories with our Alaskan gardens this year. Looking for a classroom to share with? Find a Global Partner this month. Visit an outdoor classroom as they plant a garden for a neighborhood to enjoy.
