Help Out Day: Native Daffodil Project

Help make space for native daffodils.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

You'll be digging up the non-native daffodil bulbs outside the tea-room to make space for native bulbs.

Several years ago, we embarked on a project aiming to increase the number of native daffodils growing in this area. During our De-daffing Day we will be digging up the non-native daffodil bulbs once the plants are ‘in the green’ from the area of land outside the tea-room, boxing them up ready to be dried and used elsewhere.
