Daffodils are a universal symbol of rebirth and new beginnings. You can help us create a magnificent gateway into downtown St. Charles and demonstrate this to the entire St. Charles community in three ways:

On October 19, 2024 we will be planting 5,000 mixed daffodil bulbs and 150 Virginia blue bell plants to the south of Mr. Eggward to expand this dynamic landmark of exceptional beauty each spring along the Rt. 31 entry point into downtown St. Charles.

Locally owned business supports Project Daffodil ... and you can too

As the Presenting Sponsor, locally owned and operated Heinz Brothers Greenhouse Garden Center has once again generously agreed to insure Project Daffodil builds upon the success of the past 5-years. The River Corridor Foundation of St. Charles has continued to "grow" this effort over time and has planted 5,000 bulbs each year since 2020 to reach 25,000 bulbs. You can play a vital part in creating this enduring spectacle in three ways. You can choose to be a Sponsor, make an individual donation, or Volunteer to help plant on October 18th. Or, do all of the above.

The Location of Project Daffodil — Mount St. Mary Park.
A beautiful slice of green space just south of downtown St. Charles, IL, on the western banks of the Fox River.
