(Le Mars) — The Le Mars Convention and Visitors Bureau has again awarded a Daffodil beautification grant to the Floyd Valley Garden Club. Last fall, residents along Central Avenue South were offered 20 free King Alfred daffodils by the two groups. Those flowers bloom in April. Beginning Sunday, September 16th, and continuing next week, club members will canvas this year’s planting routes. Frank Summerside of the Floyd Valley Garden Club explains why the club decided on daffodils.
