Diana will talk about dividing bulbs (daffodils, hyacinths, amaryllis, etc.) and rhizomes (iris, day lilies and dahlias). Some need to be dug up in the fall, overwinter in a basement or garage and then planted in the spring like dahlias. Amaryllis can be oversummered in pots in the garden so that they can bloom again in the winter. Diana will show how to divide plants, how to store them and how to choose which ones to plant.
Diana Pelletier has been an avid gardener for many years.

She taught art classes for children through Arts in the Parks. Diana is also the author of the “Urban Gardener” series of articles in the Highland Park Community Club newsletter.
