CORNWALL — Expanding the daffodil garden in Cornwall Village between the library and Town Hall, four members of the Cornwall Garden Club planted 1,000 bulbs Saturday, Oct. 26.

Club founder Charlotte Van Doren and members Natalie Randall, Stephana Bottom and Juliet Hubbard spent the better part of the day hard at work with both hand and power tools.

“The Village Improvement Society has provided all the bulbs for us,” said Van Doren, adding that funds were allocated from the Town of Cornwall to support the project.

The King Alfred and Mount Hold daffodils will add to the 1,000 bulbs that were planted last year in the same space. The three-year project will be completed in 2025 in celebration of the Garden Club's fifth anniversary.

“The idea here is to take a public space in Cornwall and ... make a place for people to gather that’s beautiful,” Van Doren said.
