Hammond Park in Sandy Springs will be the site of the Children’s Memorial Garden as part of the Daffodil Project.

The event will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15.

Residents and community members are invited to participate in the planting of daffodil bulbs at the park’s entrance on Hammond Drive.

The Daffodil Project aspires to build a worldwide living memorial in eternal remembrance of the children who perished in the Holocaust and in support of children who continue to suffer in humanitarian crises in the world today.

The shape and color of daffodils represent the Yellow Stars that Jews were forced to wear during the Holocaust. Yellow is the color of remembrance.

Daffodils represent the poignant hope for the future. They are resilient and return with a burst of color each spring reminding us that life is eternal. The daffodils honor the memory of those who perished and also serve to honor those who survived.

Through a generous donation of labor and dollars, the ground has been prepared and the bulbs provided. Sunday’s event will be held rain or shine.
