Spring
Bulbs
Bulbs are easy to grow, and in our area, we can grow quite a few beautiful ones. They are best grown in rich, well-drained soil. To create a bulb planting area, turn 3 to 4 inches of good planting soil into the entire area and then plant bulbs in the new soil mix. Or get creative and mix bulbs into existing landscape areas for a surprise each season. Avoid wet areas, as this can cause the bulbs to rot. Below are some of our favorite bulbs for spring, and don't miss this weekend's workshop on spring bulbs - Saturday, Feb 18th at 10am.

Kerby's has lots of fun planned for the garden in 2012, including workshop favorites on vegetables, herbs and roses, as well as some new workshops on bulbs and trees. There has never been a better time to Discover the Fun of Gardening.
Workshop:
Planting Spring Bulbs
Bulbs are
like a little surprise in the garden each year as they emerge in the
spring. With many unique and beautiful flowers, bulbs are a great way to
add easy color. This workshop will
teach you all about bulbs, including the best way to plant and care for
them. And we'll demonstrate using bulbs to make beautiful patio
planters.
Workshop:
Spring Vegetable Gardening
Healthier, tastier vegetables are easy to grow, and in this workshop, you'll get all the information you need to get your vegetable garden going this spring. We'll also talk a bit about raised garden beds and how to grow veggies in them.
Workshop:
Cold Hardy Landscaping
Tough plants for Florida Gardens are the feature in this workshop. You'll see some amazing plants that are great at taking whatever mother nature throws at them. We'll also teach you some tricks for creating a beautiful landscape. Featuring our We Plan You Plant service, for anyone wanting a jumpstart on a gorgeous landscape.
Spring
Fling
Bring on the color! You won't be able to resist all the amazing flowers we've found for this year. Come out on Saturday and enjoy some fresh-popped popcorn and lemonade and take a stroll around the boardwalk to see all of this season's new arrivals. There will also be a fun activity for the kids!
Workshop:
Planting and Caring for Trees
Do you want a
wonderful shade canopy that adds value to your house? Or a spring-flowering
tree that lights up your landscape? Then you need a tree! This workshop will
teach you all about planting and caring for new trees and give you all the
tricks we use to make sure a tree gets off to a good start. We'll also talk
about caring for trees as they grow to maximize growth and beauty.
Workshop:
Growing Delicious Herbs
We all love food. And we love food even more when it's
cooked with tasty herbs. Growing your own herb garden
is easy and it is a great way to always have fresh herbs for
all of your favorite recipes. Come to this workshop to learn
all about growing herbs and what herbs can be used for.
Workshop:
Fruit Trees for Small Spaces
Juicy and delicious, there is nothing like picking fruit from a tree you've grown and eating it on the spot. But not everyone has a huge yard with room for an orchard. At this fruit tree workshop we'll focus on some new dwarf varieties of fruit trees that are great for your yard, and talk about how to keep trees smaller when space is limited.
3rd
Annual Easter Egg Hunt
Bring your Easter
basket and get ready for a whole lot of fun . . . it's the 3rd annual Easter
Egg Hunt at Kerby's. Starting right at 10:00am, be ready to hunt and see how
many Easter Eggs you can find hidden among the beautiful flowers.
