Special Recognition to some Special
Gardeners |
|
Touch of Nature supplied some
paperwhites to a group of children to test their forcing skills.
Needless to say, these kids are EXPERTS and we wanted to share
their success with you. If you have a school group
interested in forcing paperwhites or hyacinths, call or email us
and we'll be happy to work with your group on a similar project.
It's never to early to start planting the seed for a love of
gardening! |

Their instructor
writes, "I am sending you a picture of the children with the
beautiful narcissus you sent. They all did well.
Some we forced in hyacinth vases and some we planted in our
garden boxes." |
