Girls Scouts Plant Daffodils Along the Banks of Powder Mill Pond

Junior Girl Scouts representing Troop #60681, Franklin Township, Somerset County recently completed a Daffodil Planting Project on the banks of Powder Mill Pond at Colonial Park, East Millstone. Under the guidance of the Horticulture Department of the Somerset County Park Commission, the Scouts planted over one thousand bulbs.

The beautification project, undertaken in collaboration with Millstone Valley Preservation Coalition, replicates the vista of golden daffodils “beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze” in William Wordsworth’s beloved “Daffodil” poem.

“I’m sure this is something that the park patrons and the girls who participated in the project will enjoy for years to come,” commented Mark Inzano, Horticulture Supervisor.
