On September 16 and 17 Chester Townscape volunteers will again be selling spring-flowering bulbs at Chester's Fall Festival at a location near the Hearse House and the Information Booth. All bulbs are top quality, hardy, easy care, shunned by deer and voles, and expected to return year after year when grown in full or part sun and in well-drained locations. Shipped straight from Holland, the four varieties of daffodils offered this year include early and mid bloomers in a variety of colors and heights. Those labeled Landscape Size (LS) are a bit smaller and thus more economical, but should increase in size each year. The 2023 Bulb order form may be downloaded from www.chestervt.gov/chester-townscape. A $10 bag of bulbs features 10 LS bulbs or 5 larger bulbs.

Bulbs will be sold Cash and Carry from 9 AM–5 PM on Saturday September 16 and from 9 AM-4 PM on Sunday September 17. Bulbs may also be ordered in advance before September 12 for pick-up at the Fall Festival by making a check out to CCA with CT Bulbs in the memo line and sending the completed order form and check to Chester Townscape, PO Box 561, Chester, VT 05143. For additional information or for those who must make alternative pick-up arrangements, contact Polly Montgomery at 802-875-5446 or montgomerypolly@yahoo.com.

At its table, Townscape will also offer maps of Chester created by well-known artist Lew Watters. The maps are ready for framing and would make excellent gifts at $20 each. Also available will be CT's free brochures for the Main Street and the Stone Village/Depot walking tours. All sales help support Chester Townscape's seasonal floral displays at public places around town. Chester Townscape is a tax-exempt, charitable organization.
