Fall is the time to begin your tulip garden study, but spring is when it will really bloom. That’s when you’ll see that spring arrives at different times in different places around the globe. When does spring reach your hometown? Hundreds of kids across North America are doing a fun experiment to measure the arrival of spring.
- Slideshow: When Does Spring Reach Your Hometown?
Because your tulips will proclaim the arrival of spring in your community, you must plant them in a site that best satisfies the planting protocol that all test gardens will follow. To help you choose your site, go out and explore the schoolyard climate. Explore different locations and gather data on temperatures and other variables.
Use our checklist or rubric to determine which of your possible planting sites best meets the planting protocol.
