PHOTO ESSAY PUBLISHED IN 2023.
From March to April is daffodil time in Ashland. Many of us plant daffodils. They bring cheery bright yellow springtime color to our yards and our town – and they are deer resistant.

Lee Bowman (with many collaborators) at Mountain Meadows.
Carol Walker and her color-filled yard at Liberty and Holly Streets.
Joe Riddell, the “mystery man” who plants daffodils on Van Ness Avenue.
