We Planted 70,000+ BULBS in Our Lawn!!! - Ep. 059

  • We were planning on planting bulbs in two areas of the land-and chance would have it, I got a call from a friend, Peggy Anne, to see if .... we would be interested in doing bulbs in lawn. "YES! Of course!" we exclaimed. "We have a 1/4 acre and another 1 acre that we had that planned." Well, the stars aligned and we were able to partner with the European Union Bulb Exporters, Espoma Organic, and a number of friends to help plant over 70,000 flower bulbs in the landscape.
    We'll have to wait for spring for the big display, but in the meantime-they're all in the ground!

    WOW! I totally loved this video. It was gardening and an outdoor school rolled into one. So much great information about how bulbs grow and their needs. I loved watching that bulb planter at work. Now I wonder why everyone doesn’t have bulb lawns. I don’t have lawn, just gardens, but I’ve been working on increasing my bulbs. They’re so special because after a long cold winter we’re all hungry for colour and these bulbs are the first things to bloom. And then the pollinators. They’re all going to be writing you thank you cards for all that pollen in early spring. Thank you to everyone who came out to help and share what you know. Now I’ll be sharing this video :)

    It had always been my dream to one day have a garden where I could plant this many bulbs.
    I live in a tiny apartment that sits against a wooded embankment. I think this is my last year at this place and I am thinking of buying a 1,000 naturalizing daffodils and planting them in secret. Then when I move out, my neighbors will be delightfully surprised at the masses of yellow flowers. They always love the flowers I plant in the spring. It can be my parting gift.

      It was so fortuitous how the bulb planting machine came together. We were filming at Florae Collaborative ua-cam.com/video/EL_YDXq37oY/v-deo.html and then had to go back there to speak, but didn't have a ride, so one of the young ladies who works at Florae had her father, Frank, come pick us up, and he happens to be a turf grass scientist and recommended Bill to us. I had met him a while ago, but just in passing, and was with a group who actually helped bring this bulb lawn idea to life. Just amazing how the universe works itself out.

    I already plant bulbs under my lawn, just a small area in the front garden where I like to show off unusual flowers... But this larger project has me thinking about the local grassed spaces which our council manages...
    I wonder if they'll let me come and help (and learn)...
