Daffodils & Daylilies
The Daffodils and Daylilies program began as a joint effort with the Cincinnati Park Board to beautify highway greenspace areas and to deter litter along the highways. To date, volunteers have planted over three quarter of a million daffodils & daylilies and countless other perennials such as white blossom trees, Russian sage, and rudbeckia at over 15 highly visible locations.
We began in 1998 with a pilot beautification project at the Mitchell Avenue exit and entrance ramps. Because we had such success reducing litter as well as such a positive response from the community, we decided to take on more projects along the City's highways. Most recently, we installed a Memorial bed at the entrance ramp from Montgomery Road onto I-71 South. We added over 4,000 daffodils to the site this past fall.
