Published 1:30 am Wednesday, March 23, 2022

The Sequim Botanical Garden Society’s next “Work to Learn” party, focusing on spring bulbs, set for 12:30-2 p.m. Saturday, March 26, at the Terrace Garden just north of Carrie Blake Community Park, near the bandshell.

Crocus, daffodils, hyacinths and tulips are coming up and beginning to bloom.

Mary Crook will be talking about spring bulbs, as well as color schemes, grouping, bloom times, sun requirements, containers and beds and deadheading of blooms and foliage.

Organizers say attendees are encouraged to stay after the talk to do some practical hands-on deadheading of spent flowers, study the layout of plantings and look for signs of the next wave of blooms.

Bring gardening gloves, tools, sunscreen and hats and come mingle with other attendees.

The society is a volunteer partner with the City of Sequim and a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization providing information and a visual demonstration of what can be done in home gardening with research-based horticultural practices.
