What's Blooming in Your Garden? Tell Project BudBurst! |
 Does it seem like your forsythia bloomed earlier this year? What about the lilacs? The sunflowers? Gardeners notice things like that. But nobody really cared that we noticed — until now.
Now our keen observation skills are going to be part of the national record via Project BudBurst, a nationwide study of when certain plants flower, leaf out, and bear fruit.
The cool thing about Project BudBurst is that it relies on ordinary, everyday people to observe and record bloom times and other dates. And not only that. Once we sign up online, print out the very official-looking form, and record our data, we become a "citizen scientist" (which, for someone who flunked organic chemistry, comes very close to redemption). Project BudBurst is now in its fourth season, and they're looking for more volunteers.
