The Daffodil Club has engaged in many projects since its establishment, sometimes by donating surplus bulbs from the year's purchase, sometimes by providing labor, sometimes by making donations, and most often by all three. Over the years, members have planted thousands of bulbs throughout the city, and, since many projects were the initiatives of individuals or small groups of members, it is no longer possible to record the full extent of The Daffodil Club's activities.
Some projects stand out for their duration or magnitude.
From its inception, the Club donated bulbs to the City of Lawrence for the beautification of parks and public buildings and has constantly urged the city to invest in bulb plantings in general and daffodils in particular. In the early days of their activities, members voted extra annual dues of fifty cents to defray the cost to the city of such plantings. It should be remembered that fifty cents during the 1930's purchased twenty or more times what it would today, so the contributions of thirty and more members represented a considerable contribution. Under the guidance of the City Forester, George Osborne , and other officials, the City of Lawrence had, by the 1970's adopted a regular policy of bulb plantings. Although The Daffodil Club continues its annual levy of fifty cents for City plantings, it is now in the nature of a memorial to the Club's origins, since the annual municipal outlay for bulbs is many times greater than the Club's contributions.
