Biggest Dutch daffodil breeder has trick for great bulbs
While most of us plan to plant just a few bulbs this autumn, it’s a different story for Jaap Leenen, the biggest daffodil breeder in the Netherlands.
Luckily Jaap has a trick up his sleeve. The 60-year old flower grower says seashells from the North Sea are the best thing that has happened to his daffodils.

Your garden may have started to slow down in anticipation of winter, but here at Awapuni we’re as busy as ever.
In the nursery world every year at this time we do something known as ‘putting the first glass in’.
It’s a momentous occasion for us because it signifies the onset of winter and reminds us spring is just around the corner.

The picture on the right shows Graham, Awapuni's nursery manager, installing the little glass houses (hence putting the glass in) which give our seedlings just the right conditions for healthy growing. These ones will be ready for sale late winter and early spring.

It’s that time of year when even the most dedicated gardeners start to contemplate an indoor hobby. Temperatures are dropping, the days are shorter and even your garden seems to be in denial.
But before you pack up all your gardening tools and head inside to hibernate, gardening guru, Tod Palenski, has a tip for creating a cheerful garden woodland in a dreary winter wasteland. “Annuals and perennials are the perfect ingredient for curing bleak bare gardens. Mix in a smattering of bulbs, add a dash of compost and mulch, and you’ve got a recipe for a ‘winter gardening sensation’.”
