| News: Blooming in Alaska |
We have tulips blooming in Haines, Alaska! Also this week gardens are flowering in Minnesota, Wyoming, Montana, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
"A beautiful splash of red in the spring green."

"The flowers in the tulip garden finally bloomed. Flowers and grass are starting to grow and Central Montana is turning very green."
Lewistown, Montana 04/30/14
Spring can also include windstorms - and dangerous weather.
"OH NO! A windstorm blew through and all of the petals were blown with it! It was a sad day."

Emerging in Sasketchewan
The weather has warmed up in northern latitudes and gardens in Saskatchewan emerged this week.
"Even though we have had snow over the last two weeks, the tulips are coming up. We are so happy to see them."
Roland Michener School, Saskatoon 05/01/14
Still Waiting...
Even with warmer than average April temperatures in Alaska, we're still waiting for gardens to emerge. Watch the map while we cheer these gardeners on! |
