Yes folks, even though summer has only just arrived it is time to think about your next spring’s bulbs. The Garden Club is offering great deals on a number of different daffodil bulbs. Place your orders with Barbara Adams at: [email protected] before September 30th
Barb takes on the mantle of this year’s ‘daffodil queen.’ She has been well briefed by Sheila Webster, who over her long tenure in the role sold, and with the help of club members, distributed over a million bulbs. Bobbex, the deer repellent, is also being offered in two different media. The spray bottle (.95L) is priced at $16.52; and the same volume of concentrate at $29.12
The club offers the bulbs to members and non-members alike at near whole sale prices, plus handling and shipping. This is a service to the Bowen community. We encourage you all to put in your orders as soon s possible. Plan to beautify your yard, but save some of the bulbs to plant on your driveway, on nearby streets and boulevards. We aspire to make Bowen Island a spring wonderland!
Newcomers to the planting of daffodils should know that the small tete a tetes flower before the other listed daffodils and are aggressive colonizers. For a continuous show, with a variety of flowering characteristics, plant a mixture of all of them. With luck your daffodil beds will provide glorious colour from late February to April. Remember that the ever- hungry deer do NOT eat daffodils!
