Surprise yourself this summer by growing beautiful gladiolus that can be used for fresh cut flower displays in your home. Gladiolus don’t always have the best reputation, often the first thing a person has to say about gladiolus, is “oh those are the funereal flowers,” right? Gladiolus are not just for funerals, they make stunning displays, especially when a group…Read More

Wow…I just checked the date of my last post. Can’t believe it’s been almost exactly a month since the last time I wrote. The “spring” has been anything but here in the Upper Midwest so I’m blaming my recent lack of motivation on the weather patterns. I literally have challenged myself to limiting my amount of complaining about the weather…Read More

One of the most exciting things we (Holland Bulb Farms partnered with myself) did this year was the monthly facebook-based Photo Contest! We received so many WONDERFUL entries — it made me thankful that it was not up to me to decide the winners! The…Read More
While speaking with a gardening friend this past weekend, he asked me what spring-blooming bulbs would be best for attracting bees. This friend of mine certainly put a bee in my bonnet. It affirmed my thoughts on the important role bees play. Most flowers are pollinated by insects as opposed to wind. This pollination is necessary for the reproduction of…Read More
