Jill Sowards covers selecting, growing, and caring for fall bulbs to bring spring color for years on end in a hands-on workshop.

Dreaming of a garden filled with beautiful spring blooms? Fall is the perfect time to get started!

Join Jill Sowards of Violetear Studio for a lively, hands-on workshop all about selecting, growing, and caring for fall-planted bulbs. Discover how to choose bulbs that will thrive in your garden, where and when to plant them, and how to care for them so they return year after year.

Jill will share practical tips and inspiration for creating a spring garden full of color, texture, and seasonal interest — whether you’re planting your first bulbs or looking to expand an established garden.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

How to select bulbs suited to your garden and growing conditions
When and where to plant fall bulbs for the best results
Tips for preparing soil, planting, watering, and ongoing care
How to combine different bulbs for a beautiful succession of spring blooms
Ways to encourage bulbs to return and flourish year after year
And then it’s time to get your hands dirty! We’ll finish with a quick, hands-on “potting up” activity, where you’ll plant bulbs to take home and enjoy as they grow.

Come for the gardening inspiration, stay for the hands-on fun — and leave with your own little promise of spring!
