The Daffodil Project planted another 1,500 daffodil bulbs at Pierce Place on Saturday.
In one hour members of the committee and others worked quickly to get the bulbs planted in -2 C weather with a sprinkling of snow on the ground.
This was the sixth planting season of the project and the third time bulbs have been added to Pierce Place, near the Saamis Tepee, where John Pierce chose to honour his late wife and son with a donation of 20,000 bulbs to The Daffodil Project.
The project is currently on hold for a couple years to consider the viability of continuing until 2025.
The 1,500 bulbs were purchased with donations that had been made prior to that decision. All donations go entirely to purchase bulbs.
It is businesses such as Grand Rental Station that make this possible. For the last five years they have made a Ditch Witch available free of charge to make the furrows for the bulbs.
