The Tulips are Up!

Led by our PTA garden gurus, Maggie Hall and Kristin Townsend, Green Team students planted red emperor tulips last October around two trees just outside our front entrance.  Here they are in mid-February, just poking through the mulch.

The tulips are part of an international science project called Journey North.  When the tulips emerge in the spring, the date is recorded on Journey North's website. 

 

 Students can then track the arrival of spring across the Northern Hemisphere, and compare different location's emergence dates from year to year.
