This is by far the earliest bloom date we have had in 7 years
of participating in the tulip study. We usually expect our tulips
to bloom around April 21st.

Our First Grade Test Tulip Garden is waking up! Students have
noticed the snow is gone, the earth is getting greener and their
tulips are springing up. We can't wait until they bloom, and first
graders are making predictions about the bloom date in their journals.
