Join educators, students, and many other volunteers across North America in planting Tulip Test Gardens. Tulip tenders use these gardens to explore the concept of phenology. Predict when tulip bulbs will emerge and bloom next spring.

This fall, join students and gardeners across North America in planting a Journey North Tulip Test Garden. This project sparks curiosity and builds inquiry and investigation skills while monitoring seasonal changes in a scientific way.

This is our final Tulip Test Garden news update for spring 2023. Thank you to all the gardeners, including many teachers and students, who shared reports of emerging and blooming tulips. Your enthusiasm for the return of spring and beautiful photos of tulips have spread joy throughout our Journey North community.

Tulips are blooming throughout North America, though some Journey North gardeners in northern locations are still awaiting first blooms. There are two weeks left to report results from your Tulip Test Gardens.

Tulips are blooming throughout the US and more are emerging in Canada. Remember to report your observations!
