At dutchorganicbulbs.com you will find a wide range of organic flower bulbs and tubers. The bulbs are grown by my family in the Netherlands in the most sustainable way, with respect for natural processes and without the use of seriously harmful chemicals. Better for the planet, for the people who work with the bulbs and of course better for the pollinators.

Lee Connelly is the UK’s leading children’s gardening educator, inspiring a new generation to get outdoors, grow their own food, and connect with nature.
Seen on Blue Peter and featured across platforms including BBC Teach, Lee has become one of the most recognisable voices in children’s gardening. His work has also reached Parliament, where he has contributed to conversations around the importance of school gardening within education and its role in shaping healthier, more connected futures for young people.
Over his career, Lee has come face to face with over 500,000 children through nationwide tours, live events, and school visits, delivering experiences that inspire, educate, and leave lasting impact. His large-scale school tours, including initiatives reaching 10,000 children in a single week, have become a benchmark within the horticulture and education sectors.
Lee is also the creator of School Garden Success, a programme designed to make gardening simple and accessible for schools, removing barriers and giving teachers the tools they need to get growing with confidence.
Beyond the UK, Lee’s work has taken him internationally, with projects across Europe and ongoing collaborations in Japan. These global projects focus on using gardening, creativity, and storytelling to connect children with nature in new and exciting ways.
Alongside his educational work, Lee has brought gardening to the stage through his live theatre shows, combining entertainment, energy, and hands-on learning to engage family audiences in a completely unique way.
He has also partnered with leading brands, organisations, and councils to deliver impactful campaigns that connect with families at scale, blending education, content creation, and live experiences to create meaningful change.
Recognised as a Gardens Illustrated Horticultural Hero, Lee continues to lead the way in transforming how children experience gardening today.
Enjoy and Thank You
