Developing a Bulb Garden

WINTER ACONITE, Eranthus hyemalis

GIANT SNOWDROP, Galanthus nivalis

Remember last spring, looking at other people's hosts of golden daffodils, clumps of brightly colored tulips, or masses of pretty little blue flowers, and wishing you had more of them in your own garden? They are all bulbs, and now is the time to plant them so you can enjoy a sequence of colorful blossoms next spring. Our speaker, Kathi Gariepy, will describe how to plan a bulb garden or incorporate bulbs into your existing gardens. She will offer tips on cultivation and introduce you to varieties of bulbs you may not yet know. |
Master Gardener Kathi Gariepy lives in an old farmhouse surrounded by flower, herb, and vegetable gardens as well as a variety of berry patches. Shown here in full regalia for a Downton Abbey tea party.

A spectacular flower-arranging workshop
Talented Garden Club member and Carlisle resident Judy Blaikie Lane presented four styles of floral arranging at our May, 2018 meeting. The arrangements included a low, all-around arrangement for a dining table; a lush, "Dutch-Master" style creation; a contemporary, layered style; and an informal hand-tied "spiral" bouquet, pictured at left.
