Talk about a raised bed – this one is at eyebrow level!
Last week, I noticed horticulturist Michelle S busily planting tulips in the (very!) raised bed near the entrance to the Brown Horticulture Learning Center. She said she was planting ‘Pink Impression’ tulips for an improved spring display, adding to tulips planted in previous years. Maybe a warm day like today would be a good time to put bulb planter to soil in our home gardens!
