Spring Daffodils

In 2021, VPT planted 25,000 daffodil bulbs on the west side of Volunteer Park to create a permanent springtime garden bed.

Flowering bulbs, and daffodils in particular, have long been a component in historic Olmsted-designed landscapes across the country and provide a welcome burst of bright, seasonal color.

This project was done in tribute to Doug Bayley, co-founder of Volunteer Park Trust and the visionary who conceived of this beautiful and impressive swath of yellow returning permanently every spring.
