Take a Selfie on Daffodil Hill!
April 8, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 1:00 pm on Saturday, repeating until April 23, 2023
In November of 2020, The Essex Foundation’s Board of Directors approved plans to continue its community beautification work with the planting of 5,000 daffodil bulbs on the hill owned by First Congregational Church located on Methodist Hill in Essex Village. Sullivan Lawn Service was hired to plant the bulbs in a naturalized fashion, which required a few crew members and a few days to cover the 7500 square-foot area. Funding for the bulb purchase and planting services came from a bequest to The Essex Foundation by the late Elizabeth Callender, with additional support provided by The Paul Foundation, Centerbrook Properties, and individual donors.
