Landscape and Garden

Wonderful setting to visit in spring. A field planted with many daffodils by local patrons in 1940s. It was 10,000 daffodil bulbs and since then it’s multiplied and populated the field. There is little island surrounded by the water. Laurel Ridge Farm Daffodil Field https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/connecticut/daffodil-field-ct/
