Staff at the Virginia Living Museum report that the first Journey North tulips planted in the museum's Children's Learning Garden by Sandra Beamer's Williamsburg Field School class of grade 9-12 students bloomed today. The Children’s Learning Garden began with Journey North tulips planted in Fall 1998. This is the latest date our tulips have ever bloomed, probably due to the unusual cold and snow of late February and early March. Students planted 4 tulip clusters, one in the center of the bed and 3 at the corners near retaining stones. Although the center cluster of tulips emerged March 13th [a month after the 3 corner clusters on Feb 11 & 12], all 4 tulip clusters had one bloom open today.
