Daffodil Planting Party in Volunteer Park

Come join the fun!

Volunteer Park Trust will be planting 25,000 daffodil bulbs on the west side of Volunteer Park on Saturday, October 9th. Join this community-wide effort as we create a stunning, permanent springtime garden bed.

This project is being done in tribute to Doug Bayley, co-founder of Volunteer Park Trust and the visionary who conceived of this beautiful and impressive swath of yellow returning permanently every spring. Flowering bulbs—and daffodils in particular—have long been a component in historic Olmsted-designed landscapes across the country and provide a welcome burst of bright, seasonal color.

Bring your gardening gloves and mask. We will provide tools, bulbs, free coffee & donuts, and water.

Stay for all or part of this event. Groups are encouraged - create a volunteer team of your co-workers!

Meet us at the SW entrance to Volunteer Park - at the staircase across the street from 1065 E. Prospect St.

We'll be working on the park's western edge slopes planting bulbs between E Prospect St and E Highland Dr.
