Hip new gardening site
The mission of the website and education campaign dubbed “Dig. Drop. Done” is to introduce flowering bulbs to a new generation of gardeners and demystify bulb-growing for avid gardeners. The site — promoted by Holland’s Royal Trade Association for Nursery Stock and Flower Bulbs — is packed with simple, inspiring and witty advice about caring for bulbs, which enthusiasts describe as “the little black dress of the flower world.”
