Spring ahead with Beauty

… tired of winter blahs? Want to make your table beautiful for spring?
Daffodils and tulips are superstars of the flower bulb world: the easy-to-grow, can’t-get-any-sunnier-in-springtime flowers. But before you rush out to add them to your outdoor garden, consider this: You also can have bulbs indoors in the middle of winter.
red flowerForcing bulbs inside is a super easy technique that’s simply a sleight of hand—a trickster’s way to get blooms by faking out your flowers about what season it really is. It involves very little effort and few materials. The biggest exertion? Scheduling their arrival.
In this working session you will learn the highlights of forcing bulbs for early spring enjoyment – colour and scent. Learn how to choose them, plant them, have their blooms last.
