Our current Nursery class “All About Bulbs”

Saturday, September 19, 1 p.m.

$15 for Non-Members | $10 for Members

Location: Indoors at Meerkerk House, 3531 Meerkerk Lane, Greenbank

If you daydream of an effortless garden that blooms around your home every spring, join us for a deep dive into the magic of bulbs! Knowledgeable and engaging Tobey Nelson will cover bulb gardening for all levels of experience. Learn Tobey's favorite fall bulbs, under-appreciated and lesser-known varieties, and secrets to success in our Whidbey microclimate. 

Attendees will get to shop Meerkerk's gorgeous selection of fall bulbs early, and enjoy 15% off bulbs on the day of the event (25% for members)! You'll also get 20% off all plants in the Nursery. 

After Tobey's talk, Nursery Manager Caitlin Stanton will demonstrate a delightful container technique called bulb lasagna. Learn this simple technique for layering bulbs by bloom time to create an overflowing pot of blooms come springtime. Take home a cheat sheet showing which bulbs to layer and in what order. 

Don't miss this one-stop shop to capture the magic for your own garden. All proceeds from bulb sales benefit care of Meerkerk Gardens - shopping for a cause! 

This event is kindly sponsored by the Whidbey Island Garden Tour.
