## Resource

This month, I interviewed Lucy Bellamy on her new book A Year in Bloom. Lucy shared her journey of becoming a passionate gardener and editor of five years of Gardens Illustrated. With A Year in Bloom, we discussed how bulbs are perfect for sustainable planting, the creative blend of practicality and artistry in gardening, and the 50 experts she surveyed for the best bulbs for every growing season. She shared practical tips on planting and caring for different types of bulbs, such as adding grit for drainage and to mark areas where small bulbs are in the garden. Lucy provided insights into some specific favorite bulbs like Narcissus pseudonarcissus (lent lily), Tulipa sylvestris (woodland tulip), and Leucojum aestivum (summer snowflake). Enjoy the show!
