Wolfeboro Blooms - WGC Give Daffodil Bulbs to Residents
The Wolfeboro Garden club has purchased 3,000 daffodil bulbs to give away at no cost to the residents of Wolfeboro. Daffodils are easy to plant,
naturalize beautifully, and will bloom each spring for many years to come. Each gift bag (one per household) will include planting instructions to ensure a successful start for the daffodil bulbs.
The bulbs, sourced from Holland through a Maine distributor, will be available for pickup by community members on Saturday, October 19, from 10 AM to 2 PM at Clark Historical Park. Members will deliver gift bags directly to residents' cars.
Club president Deborah Long-Smith emphasized the timely nature of this initiative, stating, “The glorious colors of October in New Hampshire remind us that winter is coming. These beautiful days are ideal for planting spring bulbs, which symbolize hope for brighter days ahead. In the spring, a sea of iconic yellow daffodils will herald the end of winter in our town.”
Martie Lincoln, Chair of the Beautification Commitee, added, “Daffodils are
deer-resistant and thrive in sunny spots with good drainage.”
Vice President Bobbie Stave remarked, “This is our gift to the residents of our community, and by planting these free bulbs, residents contribute their gift back to the community."

A late call for volunteers was made earlier this week for members to help bag and hand out the daffodil bulbs for the Saturday, October 19 event. The response was amazing!!
