Daffodils for Dinosaurs Welcoming Spring 2021

(February 24, 2021 - ROCHESTER, MI -) The 31st annual Daffodil for Dinosaurs Sale will once again welcome Spring into the greater Rochester Community on March 18th.

Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve is excited to usher in Spring with its 31st annual Daffodils for Dinosaurs signature event. Sunny and bright bunches of daffodils can be purchased for yourself, for our local heroes, for OPC Meals on Wheels clients and seniors living in local nursing homes.

The event features new options this year including the ability to purchase daffodils that Dinosaur Hill will deliver to local fire, police departments and local hospitals to brighten the day of our local heroes. There is also an expanded opportunity to purchase daffodils for delivery to Meals on Wheels clients and nursing home residents. According to Lynne Vettraino, Director of Special Projects for Dinosaur Hill "We hope the entire community can get behind our goal to deliver bright, yellow cheer during these trying times to many individuals impacted during these challenging times." The event raises critical funds to support the educational programming at Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve.

Participating in the event is as easy as logging on to www.DinosaurHill.org/Daffodils where you can purchase bunches online from now until March 7. You will have the opportunity to order daffodils to brighten up your home or to share with your family, friends, neighbors and clients which will be picked up at Dinosaur Hill on March 18th. If you want to brighten a local hero's or senior's day, you can purchase daffodils which Dinosaur Hill will deliver to local hospitals and fire/police departments. When announcing this new option, Lynne Vettraino explained: "I know so many of us are thankful for all their service during this pandemic so we wanted to provide a way for the community to show them their gratitude." Lastly, you can purchase bunches for seniors and other homebound residents of the area which are delivered by OPC Meals on Wheels volunteers in a unique partnership with the agency.

Community members can order bunches of daffodils for themselves, for local heroes and for recipients of the OPC Meals on Wheels program and local nursing homes until March 7 by ordering online at www.DinosaurHill.org/Daffodils. Each bunch is $5.00. Pick up day for personal orders is Thursday, March 18th between 4:00 - 7:00 P.M. at Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve. All donated bunches will be delivered March 18th and 19th.
