Golden Days

Can you imagine how beautiful the country will be with daffodils planted across our nation!  NGC President Renee Blashchke's project, Golden Days, is to promote the planting of daffodils.  What a great way to recognize our gardening friends who are no longer in their homes or can no longer plant a flowers.  We'll plant daffodils for them!

Your Golden Days Project might include mass plantings at retirement centers or Blue Star Memorial sites.  You might choose instead to take a potted plant to a nursing home.  Places to plant daffodils are limited only by your imagination.

Document your projects.  Apply for the award.  With this project, everyone wins!

Areas where a daffodil will not grow, yellow marigolds and yellow daylilies have been approved.
