Tulipmania: The Class
After the grey winter, nothing puts us in the mind of spring so much as an artful arrangement of colorful tulips. Tulips have a long and fascinating history. Learn about Tulipmania in the Netherlands in the 1630s, a little of the history of the flower, and how to incorporate these springtime beauties into your garden today. We will explore different varieties and how to arrange with them.
-We will each create our own special arrangement to take home at the end of class.
