GUERILLA GARDENING

CHALLENGE!

Get up to a $50 Credit when you plant Daffodils to beautify your community for others

Buy a 50 bulb bag of King Alfred or Fragrant Mix daffodils and plant them in public view where they’ll beautify your community. You can plant them right in your front yard, along your boulevard or sidewalk, or get daring and plant them somewhere else in town. However, we’re not responsible if you get caught trying to make the world a more beautiful place!


Send us a photo of your daffodils in bloom in the spring showing how you’ve planted them in a public space for all to see and we’ll put a $25 credit on your account to use for any future online purchase! Limit two $25 credits per person. Bulbs must be pre-ordered online to be eligible for the contest. You can pick up or have them shipped anywhere in Canada.
