Fall Bulb Planting Seminar
Fall Bulb Planting Seminar
'The Art & Soul of Spring'
Saturday, October 10 @ 10 AM
Join us for a comprehensive seminar and learn everything you need to know to create a spectacular spring show! We will guide you through planning and planting, so that you can enjoy a vibrant garden in spring and early summer. Whether you are setting up large flower beds, working in small borders, or planting in containers, this workshop will give you the tools and confidence to create a dynamic outdoor display.
What You Will Learn:
- Planning for Continuous Color: Discover how to sequence flowering times—from early-spring snowdrops and crocuses to mid-season daffodils and late-season tulips and alliums—so your garden stays vibrant for months.
- Layout & Natural Aesthetics: Learn layout strategies, such as planting in soft, natural drifts rather than rigid lines, and layering plant heights to maximize visual impact.
- Designing with Color: Explore techniques for selecting complementary palettes, color layering across blooming cycles, and creating custom-themed garden sections.
- Framing Garden Features: Use strategic bulb placement to highlight focal points like pathways, patios, seating areas, and ornamental garden structures.
- Companion Planting: Integrate bulbs with perennials, shrubs, and ground covers to maintain a full look and naturally disguise fading foliage.
- Container & Lasagne Planting: Master container techniques, including multi-layered "lasagne planting," to create high-impact, space-saving displays.
- Naturalization: Identify which varieties, such as crocuses and snowdrops, naturally spread over time to create breathtaking meadow-style displays.
Perfect for both novice gardeners and seasoned enthusiasts looking to elevate their garden design!
