Plan for the future — plant bulbs now

Want a garden of glowing daffodils, bright tulips or fragrant hyacinths next spring? The Placer County master gardeners this week have just the right class — actually, two classes, on “Bulb Planting for Spring Color.” Both are free.

One class will be online via Zoom, 7-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20. Register in advance for this meeting here.

The second class will be in person on Saturday, Oct. 22, 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Loomis Library, 6050 Library Drive, Loomis.

“Fall is bulb-planting season, a time for gardeners to project themselves into the future—specifically next spring,” the master gardeners note. “Anyone who wants clutches of tulips, clumps of hyacinths or dozens of daffodils in their spring garden must plan and plant in fall.”
