One Hundred Daffodils Find a Home at Archway's Lower Campus

Archway School was 1 of almost 200 groups who signed up to plant a total of 50,000 King Alfred Daffodil Bulbs through a City of Oakland Community Service Project. Our students planted 100 bulbs around the lower campus. These bulbs will be added to the 150,000 planted over the last 3 years. Thanks to these participating groups, come spring, Oakland residents will be able to enjoy more than 200,000 bountiful yellow blooms on hillsides, parks, freeway entrances and exits, outside of schools, libraries and other public open spaces.

Archway students spent some time out of their day cleaning, digging, measuring and planting to make their school and their city more beautiful. Thanks Mr. Barry for arranging this community service project for the children. And thanks Ms Laurel for providing the photos.
