  • Spring Bulb and Summer Bulb Planting Tutorial with Jenny Rose Carey
    2026/04/21
    Did you know that your bulb garden doesn't have to be high-maintenance? One of my earliest memories is my mom planting what felt like endless tulip bulbs—500 of them, in fact. She was a young mom with three kids, no spare time, and definitely not a person who could fuss over plants every day, but somehow, she always had color! Bulbs showed up for her, and she did not have to slave over her garden to get them. That’s why I know it is possible to create a low‑maintenance garden with bulbs. So I invited Jenny Rose Carey on the show to walk us through it. She gardens on a 4.5‑acre property called Northview, filled with thousands of bulbs that bloom from late winter through fall. She’s a horticulturist, a biologist, a teacher at heart, and the author of The Essential Guide to Bulbs. She shares how bulbs actually work, which ones are worth planting, and how to plant them so they don’t rot or disappear after one season! Let's begin! In this episode, we learn: [04:04] Meet Jenny Rose Carey[07:05] What’s the history behind her 4-acre garden called Northview?[09:57] What a full season of bulbs actually looks like at Northview[11:30] What counts as a bulb?
