Daffodil Planting Party in Volunteer Park – FULL!
October 9, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm PDT
Free
We’ve reached our volunteer limit set by Seattle Parks & Recreation for outdoor activities.
Thank you!
You can still join our Waiting List or join us for our 2nd Saturday Work Party in November.
• Those with confirmed RSVP’s should bring your gardening gloves and mask. We will provide tools, bulbs, FREE coffee & donuts, and water. Meet us at the SW entrance to Volunteer Park – at the staircase across the street from 1065 E. Prospect St.
We’re planting 25,000 daffodil bulbs on the west side of Volunteer Park on Saturday, October 9th to create a stunning, permanent springtime garden bed. We’ll be working on the park’s western edge slopes. We’ll have Team Leaders on hand to guide and instruct you in small groups.
Seattle Parks & Recreation is asking both vaccinated and unvaccinated people to mask up outdoors when 6 feet of distance cannot be maintained from people who are not from your household. This type of precaution allows Parks to continue to hold volunteer functions and show that they are taking the health and safety of our community seriously.
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.
THANK YOU to our sponsors: Aegis Living on Madison, Mighty-O Donuts, and 4Culture!
