The Daffodil Project Children’s Memorial Garden at Sandy Springs’ Hammond Park was dedicated on Nov. 15, with guests planting flower bulbs that will blossom in the spring. The Daffodil Project is an effort by the organization Am Yisrael Chai, which aims to plant 1.5 million daffodils worldwide to reflect the 1.5 million children who lost their lives during the Holocaust. The garden was created by volunteers from the North Fulton Master Gardeners Club.
