Thousands of vibrant flowers are in bloom throughout Botanica's gardens. Pat McKernan, Botanica’s landscape supervisor says, "we have 60,000 tulips that we put in last fall. We have 125,000 daffodils blossoms. There are thousands of daffodils blooming in the garden."

But a late winter blast threatens all the hard work gardeners have put in preparing for spring. He said, "this one has me somewhat worried because the fact it's going to go as low as it is."

You may have planted flower like in your garden but with an upcoming cold snap means you are going to want to protect your plants. Here is one of the tools you can use it is a frost protectant blanket or you can use a sheet from inside your home.

Marty Johnson with Johnson’s Garden Center said, "if you have these in the ground anything you have to cover them is going to give that plant an insulated barrier and keep that frost off them."

Johnson says tulips and daffodils can handle the cold temps but says summer plants like vincas or geraniums might not survive the cold. He said, "some of the plants that really that really like hot weather. I would wait until late April, early May to get those in the ground."

Botanica takes pride in its green thumb and hopes its flowers will outlast the cold. McKernan said, “we put it in mother nature's hands."
