Why would tulips planted next to a building emerge and bloom earlier than tulips grown in the Test Garden garden? Have you ever found yourself seeking shelter and warmth against a building when it is sunny but chilly on the playground?
"We returned from school on March 21st, and found five tulips bloomed.We predicted that the tulips closer to the building would bloom before the Test Garden tulips that are planted further from the building. We were correct!"
