David Bell Daffodils - Community

David Bell himself was passionate about daffodils, and was generous with his time, knowledge and product. Having the responsibility of being "guardians" of this collection, Stu and June McLachlan continue to give to the community.

Annually, David Bell Daffodils give up to 5000 bulbs to groups for beautificaton projects around Canterbury. Not-for-profit organisations may apply for community bulbs before 31 March each year, either by writing to: David Bell Dafodils, Bluetts Rd, R.D.3 Leeston; or by Email: daffodils@xtra.co.nz

David Bell Daffodils are frequently available for individuals, schools or sporting groups to pick and sell their unique daffodils as fundraisers. In 2005, such ventures helped toward exchange student fees, a school camp and hosting the Leeston School Garden Party which raised $3000 towards adventure playground equipment.

The Cancer Society benefit annually from the proceeds of the collection bucket which is promoted at David Bell Daffodils. They also receive community bulbs for various fundraisers.
