Where Will Tulips First Emerge? It's time for your predictions! >>

Your tulips will announce the arrival of spring in your community. You need to decide where to plant them. What do plants need to survive? What factors might affect the growing tulips? Where can you plant them to represent your local temperatures?

Deciding Where to Plant (rubric) To help you choose your site, go out and explore the schoolyard climate. Find North, South, East and West on a compass or GPS. How might the direction your garden faces affect plant growth? Try these activities and checklists! >>

Garden Tour and Geography Challenge (slideshow) Come along and visit some Journey North gardens. We will give you the dates these gardens emerged, then you predict where they were planted. Good Luck! >>
