Spring Bulbs Available

 

Spring Bulb Activity Kits Available                                           

Colorful, blooming spring bulbs warm everybody's hearts in the middle of the winter, when nothing is blooming outside, and in early spring. We have spring bulb activity kits available for 4-H members! You will learn how to force spring bulbs for early indoor bloom, or learn how you can plant them outside for colorful spring bloom.

Each kit includes:

  • 10 daffodil bulbs
  • 20 grape hyacinth bulbs
  • 6 easy to follow spring bulb hand-outs.

Kits are available for 4-H families with youth age 5 to 19. One kit per family. There is no cost for the kits.
