Greetings bulb enthusiasts! QBG has been thrilled to partner with Brent and Becky’s Bulbs through their Bloomin’ Bucks program.
Though our gardeners are still hard at work planting our spring blooming bulbs (check out our past articles and watch for a few more on the way), we wanted to let you know that Bloomin’ Bucks is taking a winter break starting today, November 20, 2009. But don’t worry — they’ll be back in mid-January.
Watch our blog and website for the announcement!
