Four members of the Mtn. View Garden Club journeyed to Liberty High School on Oct. 16 to meet with Krista Nicholson's Agricultural Science 1 class to plant 200 daffodil bulbs. Five trees immediately in front of the high school were chosen as the area to plant the bulbs. This ground had not been dug in since the planting of these trees many years ago, so the students found it challenging to dig the 4-inch trench for the bulbs, shared club member Robi Tanner. “Many of these 22 freshman students had never planted a bulb and enjoyed learning a new skill,” she added. “It should be quite a sight to see 200 blooming daffodils in this area in the spring.” For more information about the club's activities and to see pictures of the daffodils in the spring, visit the club’s Facebook page @mvgc.mountainviewmo. The Mountain View Garden Club is a member of the National Garden Clubs, the Federated Garden Clubs of Missouri and the Central Region Garden Clubs.
