The Bulb Show at The Berkshire Botanical Garden
A bulb show offers a living lesson in botany by revealing how plants store energy underground and respond to changes in temperature and light. Walking among blooming tulips, daffodils, and grape hyacinths invites close looking at stems, leaves, and flower structures while learning how weeks of cold trigger growth once warmth returns. The display encourages curiosity about dormancy, flowering cycles, and the ways gardeners work with plant physiology to bring spring color into late winter.
