Results of spring’s survey unto the unique daffodils of the Tamar Valley will be revealed at the Heralds of Spring Daffodil Conference on October 5.

The conference will celebrate the Heritage Lottery funded daffodil project that observed and identified Tamar Valley daffodils in the local landscape.

The event will be an opportunity to share the findings of the project, hear from daffodil experts, listen to oral histories and buy bulbs for the coming season.

Sara Rock from Tamar Grow Local, who are the project partners with the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding natural Beauty service, said: ‘We are delighted to bring together John Lanyon from the National Trust, Ron Scamp from RA Quality Daffodils and RHS judge and bulb committee member Gwynne Davies to the conference to talk about their interests and work with daffodils.’

Calstock Parish Archive will also have a display of photographs of the Tamar Valley daffodil industry, and photographs from the 2017 survey will be on show.

The premier of the Heralds of Spring and Bere Ferrers Spring Flower Show film will be shown, too.

Tamar Valley AONB manager Corinna Woodall said: ‘Heralds of Spring really captured the imaginations of so many people in the Valley.

‘As we emerged from the winter months, this project brought joy and lifted spirits. 

‘The information collected will help inform future work as to how we can best protect the Tamar Valley’s historic daffodils for future generations.’

The conference will be held from 10am to 4.30pm at the Tamar Valley Centre, Drakewalls.
