Inspired by Bulbs!

The Bulb Project has awarded grants of $250-worth of bulbs to projects around the country to engage children and youth in a variety of exciting and innovative activities.

Read more about the projects.

This site features creative projects to help educators share the joys of growing flower bulbs with children and youth, and use bulbs to help teach science, art, history and other subjects.

The activities can be used in many settings, including the classroom, after-school programs, home schooling, 4-H, community projects and other formal in informal educational settings.

We also include resources to help you forge partnerships with local retailers and garden centers who can share their expertise and serve as a source of flower bulbs for you project. (There are also resources to help retail partners publicize their collaborations.)

We also invite you to share your experiences with these activities and contribute new ideas for how to use bulbs in various educational settings through the site's blog, and read how others have used the activities. Click on the Interact link for each activity and resource to read more.
