The Art of Forcing Bulbs

While the garden sleeps outside, your home can be filled with the fragrance of hyacinths and the bright cheer of daffodils. Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the "magic" of bulb forcing -the process of tricking spring-flowering bulbs into blooming early indoors. All tools and equipment, including vessel will be provided. Each participant will create and take home a display including a variety of flowering bulbs.

What You’ll Learn

• The Science of Chilling: Understand why certain bulbs need a "winter nap" and how to provide it.


• Variety Selection: Which bulbs work best for forcing (Paperwhites, Amaryllis, Muscari, and more).


• Planting Techniques: How to plant in soil versus "hydroponic" forcing in water and pebbles.
