#bulbblitz

Somerville is in BLOOM!

I wandered lonely as a cloud   That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd,   A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine   And twinkle on the Milky Way, They stretched in never-ending line   Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced, but they   Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A Poet could not but be gay,   In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie   In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye   Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

Gardeners, sign up here to participate in the 2015 Bulb Blitz this Saturday, Nov 7 from 10 am to noon and see Somerville bloom in 2016!

Thank you to the Somerville volunteers who planted over 1,000 daffodils and tulips all over the city in a "flash mob planting" last fall,  known as the second annual SOMERVILLE BULB BLITZ!  Let's just say it is paying off BIG in beauty all over.  Here is a map of the Bulb Blitz locations.  Get outside and enjoy the flowers.
