Explore!: The Geography of Gardens

It is February 9, but we already find one garden that has emerged north of 50N. Look closely. Can you find it? (Hint: Look across the Atlantic Ocean.)

Try using the Live Tulip MapServer to find the garden.

Journal Questions: Are All Northern Latitudes the Same?

Study the location of the emerged Nottingham garden.

  • What is its latitude?
  • Describe the geography of the garden site.
  • Compare it with gardens in North America found at similar latitudes. Will the North American gardens emerge soon? Why or why not?
