January Planting
Have you got your garden planted? Watch as more gardens appear on the map in early January when gardeners in warm regions plant their cold-treated bulbs. "Today we planted our Emperor tulips. Kids did great job following the planting instructions for our Florida zone." Anona Elementary, Largo, FLorida 01/06/2017		Margaret Egan

Investigate Soil Temperatures
January temperatures vary across North America. How does this affect plant growth? Set up an investigation to test and record temperatures in your Test Garden. Check temperatures regularly throughout the winter and into spring. Soil and Air Temperature Chart

Each Test Garden has its own unique place on the globe. Grow connections with other classrooms and predict how different climate conditions will affect where and when tulips will emerge and bloom. #JNshare

Map and Journal
The first garden has emerged in Georgia! Students in Decatur wondered if the bulbs were confused. "Last week it got up into the 60's and 70's. This week it was in the teens. Maybe the bulbs are confused?" 01/06/2017
