Now’s the time to think about spring flowers, Road Trips Foodies — the kind of spring flowers that burst forth from all the bulbs you’ve planted this fall.

Need a bit of instruction? If you’re in the mid-Atlantic early next month, consider scheduling a stop for a Hands-on Bulb Planting Workshop.

It’ll be held from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. November 7, 2014, in the Brown Horticulture Learning Center, Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library, 5105 Kennett Pike (Route 52), Wilmington, Delaware. Fee is $35.

Learn the basics of fall bulb planting through classroom and hands-on demonstrations. Winterthur has literally millions of bulbs and over the years our garden staff have developed techniques of planning and planting bulbs to maximize efficiency and create the best display. Participants will have the opportunity to try their hand at planting bulbs and will leave with a bulb selection to try in their own gardens.
