McLaughlin's Daffodil Hill, Jackson

This is a beautiful and free attraction powered by volunteers! Over 300 varieties of daffodils are planted and you can see them against the picturesque backdrop of old farm houses and structures. The family also nurtures a herd of peacocks that are in the most beautiful condition I have ever seen. Each daffodil season, tons of people come up including tour buses to see this attraction. It is well worth the trip and round it out to a full weekend by stopping at the quaint town of Volcano as well for great food at the cafe or volcano Union Inn. Opens 10-4 during season. Check their Facebook page for updates.

I went on opening day. Sat in traffic for two hours I think. But, once arriving I noticed they had personnel directing traffic, as two roads intersect with the place. They also directed me to parking, and when we arrived, walking about 25 yards away from where we parked, we were not disappointed. The grounds are lovely, there is room enough to walk through their planted areas even on opening day. The Daffodil collections are unique, and I believe they planted only 6000 new bulbs last year. Hey, it was full of blossoming daffodils. Being in the Foothills was lovely. Opening day was so huge that they ran out of food they were selling. Rain caused it to close for the season the following week.
