Profits from the sales of bulbs, notecards, and postcards support scholarships for Mattapoisett students! Applications will be available in the spring.

History of the MWC Daffodil Project: In the fall of 2019, the Mattapoisett Woman’s Club purchased 1,000 King Alfred daffodil bulbs. They were planted on October 25 at Memorial Rock (Aucoot Road and Route 6), the intersection of Route 6 and Church Street, the newly established planting area at the Police Station, around the flagpole at the library, in several garden areas at the Town Hall, the Welcome Sign at the entrance to Industrial Park on North Street, the triangle east of the Oxford Creamery, in front of the Lions’ information board at Route 6 and North Street, and, finally, the traffic island at the intersection of River Road and Acushnet Road. These are naturalizing bulbs and should increase in volume over the coming years.
The Garden Group of the Mattapoisett Woman’s Club designs and maintains flower boxes and gardens in several public locations around our town. Members plant, water, and maintain the boxes for each of the four seasons, and the gardens as seasonally appropriate.
kindly order 2 bags of premium bulbs @ $10.00. Thank you.
