Beautiful bulbs intertwined harmoniously together, your garden is a visual creation that represents a chromatic art form. Combining the components of seasons, weather, timing, and vision, gardening is multi-dimensional and thrives differently amid the seasons. The design process is characteristic to the time of the year, and during the fall, there are many benefits to gardening. Gardening in the fall is pure perfection— cooler weather exists, insects and the diseases associated are lessened, and less watering needs to be completed.
Usually foolproof and typically easy to maintain, the term bulb refers to a diversity of plants with a large stem in which the plant grows each year. Bulbs are planted in the fall and bloom in the spring, needing only moisture and sunny days to thrive. Planting fall bulbs is a novice and expert gardener favorite.
