Anyone interested in writing for the newsletter should contact Jane Merryman the editor, to inquire. We need articles ranging from garden design and personal experiences growing bulbs, to discussions of specific genera and families. Articles are accompanied by color photos, either from the authors or from our archive. Lead articles usually have 1200 to 1400 words; we also accept shorter pieces.
Business The Bulb Garden also publishes advertisements; please contact the PBS treasurer about rates.
