Saturday, April 13 is the Second annual Daffodil Dash 5K and 1-mile fun run/walk where participants will be delighted at the sight and smell of 130,000 blooming daffodils planted along the Cayuga Inlet by the Ithaca Garden Club’s Daff-A-Dazzle community-wide project team. The trail of daffodils, coupled with the springtime blooms found in the Bulb Labyrinth Memorial Garden within the Ithaca Children’s Garden, allow individuals of all ages and stages to run, walk, roll or stroll through the only local race where it’s okay to stop… and smell the flowers.
Every dollar collected will add to the daffodils planted this fall by the City of Ithaca and Cornell volunteers, aided by their incredible bulb planting equipment.
