Bucks Beautiful To Plant 40,000 Daffodil Bulbs This Fall
Bucks Beautiful is pleased to announce that funds raised through generous donations will enable us to plant 40,000 daffodil bulbs in Bucks County this fall. In partnership with Gale Nurseries Inc., the perennial bulbs will be planted at five locations.
The Bulbs for Bucks Program was the inspiration of board member Chuck Gale, to beautify Bucks County at key locations with the first splendor of spring - blooming daffodils! Mr. Gale stated “I like the idea of planting daffodils because the bulbs multiply each year, and the project is long-lasting for future generations to enjoy. To my knowledge, this is the largest bulb planting project in the state of Pennsylvania.” Since the initiative debuted in 2010 over 1.6 million daffodil bulbs have been established throughout beautiful Bucks County. www.bucksbeautiful.org
