Join us this Sunday, October 20, from 10 AM to 1 PM (or until supplies last) as Newport in Bloom proudly gives away 30,000 daffodil bulbs at the Easton’s Beach rotunda. Each bag contains two dozen bulbs—worth over $15 retail—and they’re ready to be planted immediately in a spot where their vibrant blooms can be enjoyed each spring.
This marks the 15th year of our mission to further beautify Newport. To date, residents, businesses, non-profit organizations, and our dedicated Newport City crew have planted an incredible 1.5 million daffodil bulbs, helping us earn the sobriquet of “Daffiest City in New England.”
We’ve received many inquiries about planting flowers on the land disturbed by RIDOT’s bridge realignment construction, particularly around the rotary at JT Connell and Adm. Kalbfus. Unfortunately, RIDOT has yet to release this land for planting, but we hope for a positive update in 2025. Let them know how much you miss the daffodils!
Come grab your free bulbs this Sunday and help us continue to enhance Newport’s beauty.
Happy planting,
John Hirschboeck, Newport in Bloom
