KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Spring is months away, but local 4-H members are making sure there will be plenty of beautiful flowers to enjoy when it arrives.

On Saturday, Big Valley 4-H members – with the help of family and friends – planted 970 daffodil bulbs on Gas Hill in Kelseyville as a community service project.

The daffodils were purchased with donations from friends, family and community members.

The club reported that the conditions were perfect – the soil had been softened by earlier rains and the weather was dry and just right for planting.

Now, they are impatiently awaiting the beautiful blooms that will appear in the spring.
