Beautification Projects

In the late summer of 2005 the Daffodil Festival Beautification Committee began a bulb planting partnership with Route 17 Corridor businesses.  Since the Spring of 2006 we have enjoyed thousands of new blooms!  From the Coleman Bridge to Main Street the daffodils are popping up  everywhere.  Over 50,000 bulbs are now in the ground! 
Visit our photo gallery to see some of the daffodils!
