The
104th anniversary of California’s
State Flower, the California Poppy, will be celebrated April 6, 2007.
Because fall and spring are the best times to plant the poppy this anniversary
is offering a unique opportunity to celebrate the state flower and increase its
presence on local hills and pastures. The California Poppy Project © is offering one free packet of seeds
to adults in all 58 counties of California.
The California Poppy Project was established in 1987 with the goal to “Help preserve our trails, paths,
highways, coastal areas, parks and safety rest stops from the blight of
discarded litter!” To date more than 100,000 free packets have been
distributed statewide with the assistance of the Native Daughters of the Golden
West (NDGW). California Poppy seeds are drought tolerant and recommended in
mild climates. It is illegal to pick California Poppies that grow on public
property.
