Spring Bulbs in Containers

Bulbs are a wonderful way to add some colour and scent to your home and garden at a bleak time of year.  In this workshop we will look at the range of bulbs available for winter and spring colour, focussing on those that are easier to grow and suitable for containers. Learn how to choose bulbs and good combinations, how to plant them, and how to look after and maintain them through the season.
 
Workshop tutor Viv Hunt will also guide you through a practical activity to plant a bulb lasagne using a mix of different bulb varieties planted in layers.
