The sight of beautiful bright daffodils bursting into life after a long winter is one of the most welcoming sights in nature. Daffodils are positive, bright and symbolise hope, new beginnings and rebirth.

In fact, the charity Marie Curie, who care for and support people with a terminal illness and those who have been bereaved, have had the daffodil as their emblem for many years.

We’ve teamed up with Marie Curie and bulb and plant provider, J Parkers, to create a special daffodil bulb collection that we’d like to invite you to order and plant this autumn in memory of a loved one.

You may be remembering someone you lost decades ago, or only very recently, but as these bulbs grow into beautiful blooms, they will become a bright and positive way to celebrate their life.

What’s more, £5 of the sale of every daffodil bulb pack will go to Marie Curie to help fund their essential work.

We’d love our wonderful Yours community to get planting so come spring there will be gardens and window boxes all over the country bursting into life in memory of loved ones, just in time for the National Day of Reflection on
March 23rd. During the month of March Marie Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal takes place, look out for local collectors donning their daffodil hats!

At that time, we’ll invite you to send in photos of your daffodils in bloom, along with the stories of the special person they’re planted in memory of.

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end of life charity, providing essential nursing care, a free support line and bereavement services. If you want to talk to someone following a bereavement, whether it was expected, happened recently or was some time ago, Marie Curie are here to help on 0800 090 2309.
