- Sourcing and choosing bulbs that will thrive in your climate and garden conditions

- Dealing with common bulb pests and problems
- Experimenting with containers, lawns, and unexpected planting spots
This will be an interactive question-and-answer session, so bring your bulb dilemmas and curiosities—whether you want to know which crocus is worth planting by the hundreds, how to keep squirrels away from tulips, or which bulbs perform best in shade. Submit your questions in advance, and Joseph will tackle them live.
