Daffodil Festival

Chairperson - Rose Sullivan

​

As part of their outreach and education programs, Gloucester Master Gardeners lead guided walking tours of the gardens located at The Bulb Shoppe and at the home of Brent and Becky Heath during Daffodil Festival weekend. The tours offer a glimpse into the history of Brent and Becky’s as well as an opportunity to learn about what grows well in our area; which daffodils, bulbs, shrubs and trees are in bloom at that time of year; and a behind-the-scenes look at their facilities and catalog business.
