NEW BLOOMS FOR HOPE

ROB BENCHLEY/The Independent

Nantucket New School students plant daffodil bulbs along the Milestone Road Saturday to help replenish those originally planted by Jean MacAusland in 1974.

The bulbs were donated by many island landscapers to benefit the Hospice

Dreamcatcher Auction held in June, and plans are to replenish more bulbs every year. The new daffodils that will bloom in the spring are representative

of the hope and care provided by Nantucket Hospice.
