For Make a Difference Day 2023, we are offering pink tulip bulbs and yellow daffodil bulbs to be planted in public spaces throughout the City of Annapolis. Volunteers may order up to 100 tulip bulbs and 100 daffodil bulbs for each project. The bulbs are free but only available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reservations for bulbs start Monday, September 11.
To place an order, please email Marisa Wittlinger at mdwittlinger@annapolis.gov and provide your name, contact phone number and organization (if applicable), and indicate what City of Annapolis public landscape area you will be planting and the number of bulbs you’re requesting.
