Hard work brings beauty to Moraga hillsides this spring

Spring is almost here and daffodils, which this year include flowers from 2,000 additional bulbs, are sprouting along Moraga Road near the Commons Park.

Each fall the Kiwanis Club of Moraga Valley adds bulbs to the field of Daffodils as part of its efforts to enhance the lives of children, families and seniors - in this case through beautiful spring flowers. The Moraga Garden Center has also planted daffodil bulbs, and this year owner Kenny Murakami instructed the volunteers on the history and characteristics of daffodils, and proper planting techniques.

The volunteers ranged from the very young to the "somewhat mature" with many in-between. Joan Bruzzone donated 1,000 of the bulbs, and joined the group as volunteer. All had fun on the beautiful sunny day (after rains had softened the soil).

For the many who knew Dr. John Heckle, think of him as you enjoy the flowers he helped plant only weeks prior to his unexpected passing.
