Into the ROC: Daffodil Project at Mount Hope Cemetery
Event Image
Join Into the ROC as we help The Daffodil Project clean up for spring and prepare for thousands of spring blooms! Many famous Rochesterians are buried in the Mount Hope Cemetery, including Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony.
The Daffodil Project was started in 2022 and has planted over 20,000 daffodil bulbs throughout the cemetery as a sign of hope and peace. Projects for the day will include raking leaves, cleaning pathways, and digging holes.
A bus will leave promptly from the Sentinel Statue at 10 a.m. Please dress accordingly for working in the outdoors -- closed toe shoes, a rain jacket, and long pants are highly encouraged. Please bring water and a light snack if you need!
