RI Federation of Garden Club Golden Days Clubs will be asked to plant daffodils in pots to take to members who are now confined to their homes, assisted living, nursing homes or those who have felt the need to downsize their living quarters. The project can be expanded to plant daffodils at any of these facilities in mass, or at cemeteries, blue star memorial sites, public lands. NER will be raffling off Daffodil bulbs at our Annual meeting and the proceeds will be presented to the State that plants the most bulbs. Get your Trowels ready and PLANT!
