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!
