Angela will be running the bulb sale again early in 2008 and expects to offer
the same excellent range.
We have heard nothing but very satisfied reports from members who purchased bulbs this year.
All the bulbs offered are fresh and not recycled from old stock. Our order for tulips is part of the Garden's
annual order. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to buy exhibition-quality bulbs. Our daffodils too are sourced
from established growers and can be planted with confidence.
The earnings from bulb sales go into the numerous projects underway at the initiative of the Friends to add
value to the visitor experience in the Botanic Garden. By purchasing from Angela you will be contributing to the
enhancement of the Botanic Garden as well as your own plot.
