Garden Club Continues Daffodil Plantings Sat., Oct. 22

The Garden Club had about 75 volunteers planting at the Riverfront and Patriots Garden (on Central Ave.) on Saturday, Oct. 8. They put in about 2500 bulbs and are continuing their efforts to plant 10,000 daffodil bulbs this fall to create a “Daffodil Trail” throughout the city that will bloom in the spring

The Club will be at it again this Saturday, Oct. 22.  They ask people to gather at 10 a.m. at the gazebo. 

Volunteers are needed to help dig holes and drop in bulbs. This is an excellent opportunity for friends and family to enjoy this great activity together. Volunteers should bring a shovel  or other bulb planting device, newspaper or tarp to throw dirt on, gloves, water, grocery bag(to carry bulbs in). If a volunteer doesn’t have a shovel there will be extras to share.

Please come dressed comfortably for the weather.   The “trail” begins at Riverfront Green near the 9/11 Memorial, meanders along Central Avenue, near the Yellow Brick Road and up through town to the hillside behind Peekskilll High School and out Route 6. 

“We are doing this to raise awareness, pride in the community and to spur future events that will celebrate this wonderful time in spring. "said Garden Club member Myra Marsocci, co-chairperson with Margaret Hughes of the daffodil trail project. To volunteer or for more information call Marsocci at (914) 528-0847.
