Wilton’s golden miles of daffodils are in glorious bloom
Thanks to Wilton Garden Club and its many volunteers, more than 13,000 cheerful daffodils are blooming around town to welcome spring. Use the club’s self-guided driving tour to witness the flowers’ perennial beauty before they vanish. The daffodil mix of 15 time-tested beauties provides succession of flowers for a 4-6 week bloom time this spring and for many to come.
This daffodil beautification program, known as the Golden Miles Initiative, began in 2021 to celebrate Wilton Garden Club’s centennial, with a goal of planting 15,000 daffodils in Wilton over five years. Last fall, the club planted 2,500 bulbs along River Road, on the hillside of the Glen River Condominium complex.
“All our hard work, planning and planting is really paying off as we see the bulbs naturalizing or multiplying as we expected, which will ensure continued and even more spectacular beauty for years to come,” said Nancy Greeley who co-chairs the Golden Miles Initiative with Suzanne Knutson. “Many thanks to everyone who has helped make this a reality!”
