Georgia Daffodil Society Blooms at CNC
Kingfisher Hall will once again bask in the gold, yellow, white and pink glow of hundreds of daffodils as The Georgia Daffodil Society presents its annual show. Spreading the joy of growing daffodils and educating the public has been the core of this Society’s mission since its founding in 1954. In 2011 Kingfisher Hall was filled with entries totaling nearly 500 blooms. Every year sees outstanding daffodils from a range of climates. Exhibitors come from Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama. Many exhibitors grow hundreds of varieties, while others grow just a few. And a bloom from a first-time exhibitor is just as likely to be a ribbon winner as one from a veteran! As the GDS encourages newcomers, regardless of age, to enter their blooms, we hope to see many of the children who left with bulbs in 2011 return with blooms in 2012. You may enter your blooms on Friday, March 16th from 12 Noon to 6:00 PM & Saturday morning from 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM, the show is open to the public from 10am – 5pm and included in general admission. Please contact GDS President Darrin Ellis-May at darrinsdaffs@gmail.com for more information.
