Important Information Regarding This Year’s Bulb Harvest
 
You might not know it, but the last few years have been tough for tulip growers, especially in Holland. Last fall, a combination of wet weather during planting and a cold, stormy spring led to significant crop loss. This has caused a ripple effect, leading to bulb shortages across the U.S., affecting everyone from large retailers to local garden centers. It’s actually reported to be the worst bulb harvest in 50 years!
 
At The Fertile Burb, I’m all about quality and transparency, so I wanted to give you a heads-up on how this might affect your orders. I’ve been in close contact with my trusted bulb suppliers, who have been candid about the challenges they’re facing. To ensure I can fulfill all orders, I’ve taken a conservative approach to pre-sale quantities to minimize the risk of cancellations.
 
That said, if a particular variety doesn’t make it to me, I’ll be substituting it with a similar type and color variety. I’ll keep you informed via email about any substitutions made to your mix, so there are no surprises.
 
The good news? I’m still bringing you the best of what’s available, and your garden is going to be absolutely stunning! Let’s make this a season to remember with beautiful blooms that will light up your space, no matter the challenges.
 
Thank you for your understanding and support—here’s to a vibrant and colorful spring ahead!
