2026 marks Springfields Horticultural Society’s 60th anniversary, and this milestone will be central to our activities throughout the year.

Key events include:

• Annual Daffodil Show (April): With all its usual prizes and trophies and the announcement of the winning design from our Festival Garden Flag competition, run with local Spalding schools.
• Flag Unveiling (May): The winning design will be planted in bedding plants and unveiled during the Flower Parade weekend, themed “Flags of the World.” An actual flag will also be made to fly in the gardens.

The annual Daffodil Show will be taking place on the 11th and 12th April 2026.

Exciting activities have already taken place with our 'free bulb giveaway' where record numbers of daffodil bulbs were distributed to members of the public by our Trustees, Gardeners and Bird Hide Co-ordinator.

But here's where it gets even better. Once these daffodils are blooming come springtime, the charity invites everyone to enter into their annual daffodil show on 11th April 2026. "Young or more senior, new to gardening or a bit of a Monty Don – give it a go!" Marion encourages. "It's all about having fun and celebrating what we can grow together."

The Springfields Horticultural Society ( Registered Charity No 253736) owns and manages the stunning Springfields Festival Gardens, which it provides free of charge for the entire community to enjoy. As they look ahead to six decades of serving Lincolnshire's bulb industry and gardening enthusiasts, the bulb giveaway was just the beginning of the anniversary celebrations.
