Recycled Tulip Giveaway from the BBG

I just got this email from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  I'm planning to get some tulips for our block.  If anyone would like to join, shoot me an email.

Recycled Tulip Giveaway!

Wednesday, April 28, 2010 | 3–6 p.m.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden

1010 Washington Avenue—Service Entrance
(Between Eastern Parkway and Empire Boulevard)

These tulips include many different kinds and colors. Bulbs with stalk and leaves for immediate planting are available to BBG GreenBridge Community Garden Alliance members, block associations entering our Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest, schools, and horticultural therapy sites. The tulips were recently uprooted from BBG displays and should bloom again in the spring of 2010. A planting tip sheet will be provided.

• Limit 60 plants per group (approximately two bags)
• Tulips are available on a first come, first served basis while they last.
• Be prepared to get dirty! These recently uprooted bulbs are covered in soil.
• You will be asked to sign in for your group.
• Rain or shine. For directions to BBG, call 718-623-7200.
