Daffodils are blooming! Over the past 28 years Elinor Klivans has planted thousands of daffodil bulbs in her Camden garden. She has many varieties and each year she adds more. In a setting resembling a smallpark or glen, daffodils bloom in beds, among ferns and under shrubbery. Enjoy a spring afternoon among the blossoms, along with ice tea, lemonade, and her famous homemade cookies. Elinor is an award-winning author of several cookbooks including Big Fat Cookies!
