Fall is here, and Clinton Canopy is ready to bring the community together for a meaningful tradition. On Saturday, November 8, 2025, Clinton Canopy will host its third annual Daffodils for Remembrance event, planting 600 daffodil bulbs along Highway 72 at Clinton Elementary School.

Daffodils mark the arrival of spring, and their bright yellow color symbolizes remembrance. Each year, these resilient flowers return, bringing a burst of color that represents hope, renewal, and beauty. This year’s bulbs are funded through the Community Assistance Grant.

Residents are invited to participate by signing up for a free set of daffodil bulbs in memory of a loved one. Dedicating bulbs is a special way to honor a friend, co-worker, or family member. Names of those remembered will be listed on the Clinton Canopy website.

To sign up, visit www.clintoncanopy.org and follow the link to “Daffodils for Remembrance.” Participants are asked to join the planting event on November 8 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. Parking will be available in the Clinton Elementary School lot at 800 Chestnut Street.

For those who wish to participate but cannot attend on planting day, Clinton Canopy offers two options: schedule an appointment to plant bulbs earlier in the week or arrange for volunteers to plant the bulbs on your behalf.

Over the past two years, Clinton Canopy has planted bulbs in several key community spaces, including the “V” at Willard Road and North Adair Street and along the railroad tracks in the historic downtown. These vibrant plantings have become a welcome sign of spring across the city.

“This event has grown each year, and it’s been so meaningful to see families, students, and neighbors come together to plant bulbs in memory of their loved ones,” said Heather Tiller, Clinton Canopy member. “Every spring, the blooms remind us of those we’ve honored and the shared beauty we’ve created as a community.”

This year marks the third planting, and Clinton Canopy plans to expand the tradition to additional sites in the future. Local residents and businesses are also encouraged to plant bulbs on their own properties to help spread the spirit of remembrance throughout Clinton.
