The tulip bulbs are removed from Sherwood Gardens beds at the end of each blooming season to be replaced by new bulbs for the next spring bloom. At the end of May each year, always the Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend starting at 7:00 AM the tulip bulbs are available to be dug and purchased for a nominal cost of 30 cents per bulb. Participants should bring a shovel or spade and a bag for their bulbs.
This year, the tulip dig will be on Saturday, May 25. The 2013 tulip dig is being planned as part of Guilford's centennial celebration and will be a special event. Download the attached for more information.
