May 7, and 14* Tulips have emerged in Palmer, Alaska! And in ND,
gardens have bloomed that were covered with a foot of snow this

Study the season in maps; revisit the question, “How does spring

of Journey North garden maps. And a final thank you to all the
gardeners who contributed to this Students in the northern-most
regions are just now reporting spring has sprung in their
gardens. Snowbanks are melting and temperatures are warming.
Students in Palmer, AK, dug a sample from their garden to see if
the bulbs were still there. See what they found. Will the bulbs
emerge by next week? How much snow and ice is there in May in
North America? NOAA maps help you discover where it is. This is
the time of year the maps are filling up with red blooming
gardens. Students are taking the time now to analyze their
experimental plots,
