The Northwest Louisiana Master Gardeners will host their annual
Fall Bulb Sale, Saturday, October 26, 2024. This annual sale will be held at the Red River Research Station located at 262 Research Station Road in Bossier City, Louisiana from 8 AM until noon. Featured are hard to find heirloom bulbs to beautify your flower garden. You can’t buy these heirloom bulbs in stores. Many of the bulbs come from Master Gardener’s gardens, and have been dug up from old home sites. There will be thousands of heirloom bulbs that thrive in the South for sale.
Special guest speaker will be Chris Weisinger, The Bulb Hunter. Weisinger started the Southern Bulb Company in 2004 seeking to recapture something that was once “lost” to the Southern gardener: bulbs that thrive in warm climates, many of which are heirloom and rare flower bulbs. Weisinger will speak at 9 a.m. and will be available to sign his books, which will be for sale.
Featured bulbs this year include jumbo Amaryllis, many varieties of Narcissus, Allium, Daylily, Louisiana Iris, Asiatic lilies, Peony and Spider Lilies. There will also be a variety of seeds including sweet pea, Bachelor button, Larkspur, Corn poppy, Love in the Mist and a Wildflower mix.
Come early for the best selection. We will also have an Educational Gardening Seminar starting at 10:30 AM, and the Shreveport Biscuit Company food truck will be at the Bulb Sale all morning.
