We Planted 80,000 BULBS in our LAWN. See Them Bloom Over 3 MONTHS — Ep. 173

Over the course of two autumns, we managed to plant 80,000 perennial bulbs in our lawn in what is known in the Netherlands as a "stinzenplanten." This allows us to have a more productive lawn for pollinators and other wildlife, pay homage to Sander's Dutch roots, and also provide a tapestry of beauty over the course of 3 months—often during a time when not much else is blooming.

Special thanks to @flowerbulbs8319 for partnering with us on this video and for helping make our bulb lawn become a reality.
