Lewisboro Golden Roads daffodil planting, Nov. 2

Lewisboro Golden Roads daffodil planting session took place on Nov. 2 at Keeler Field next to the South Salem Post Office. Over 100 volunteers signed up for 2 different shifts (plus cleanup) at the 18th annual Golden Roads digging and bulb planting event. This year the ground had to be prepped ahead of time by tillers and picks due to the exceptionally dry and hard conditions of the soil due to around 45 days with no rain. Volunteers were undeterred and worked on their 10x10 plots to plant over 4,000 bulbs for the day. There were over 40 plots covered with bulbs for next year’s bloom. Over the past 18 years over 60,000 bulbs have been planted in 18 different locations around Lewisboro. The program has been hugely successful and has been covered in national magazines and duplicated around the country in many spots. The goldenroads.org site has a tour map for seeing all of the sites in Lewisboro as they bloom each spring.
