The Pacific Bulb Society (PBS) was organized in
Spring 2002 for the benefit of people who garden with bulbs. This
includes both cold hardy and tender bulbs, and all the bulbs in
between. By 'garden with' we also mean to include plants, shrubs,
and even trees that we grow as companions to our bulbs.
Membership in PBS is open to bulb lovers around the world. We
welcome all to come forward to join us in the celebration of
bulbs and in mastering the challenge of gardening with
bulbs.
Our emphasis will be on successfully growing bulbs
in our yards and gardens and in sharing our successes, and our
failures too, with our fellow members. Through that sharing, we
will all learn to be better bulb gardeners. Member benefits are
quarterly newsletters, a biannual membership list,
online bulb and seed exchanges through the PBS
list, and social events. Cost of membership is $20 US dollars for
members in the United States and $25 International.
We
are pleased to sponsor an Internet discussion list, the
pbs list, a list available to anyone around the world
interested in learning more about bulbs (or more broadly
geophytes, plants with underground storage organs).
The
Pacific Bulb Society List (pbs list) maintains the Pacific
Bulb Society Wiki, an ever
expanding educational resource. On the wiki there are
pictures of bulbs, photographed by members of the list, showing
plants grown by members and ones observed in habitat. In addition
there is a lot of helpful information.
