Bulb Planting for Kids
Bulb Planting for Kids
For this week’s newest Martin & Sylvia story, we’ve partnered with Lusa Organics to bring you a special treat! Unlike spring-time gardening, there is a delayed payoff when planting bulbs in the fall. We can plant the bulbs now, but must wait until the spring to watch them grow! This Bulb Planting for Kids tutorial is a great hands-on opportunity to teach kids about patience and staying the course while also connecting with nature.
Gardening in the Fall
Bulbs planted in the autumn (like daffodils and tulips) won’t be ready to grow for several months. Bulbs rely on winter's cold to inspire the bulb to flower in spring. As Daddy tells Martin in this week’s story, they need a lot of time to get ready — so we can plant the bulbs now. Then in the spring, we can watch them grow! We’ve partnered with our friend Rachel Jepsen Wolf of LüSa Organics to bring you this easy-to-follow bulb planting tutorial.
And just in time, as even colder weather is fast approaching for those in the northern hemisphere!
