The Daffodil Festival (Gloucester, VA) and 1940s. The rise in popularity and ability to grow of daffodils in the county led to daffodil farms and even imported bulbs from other countries. Gloucester was even featured in the National Geographic twice with pictures of the townsfolk and daffodils. After World War II, a decline in growing occurred only to rebound into one of the biggest frenzies of daffodil growing Gloucester had seen. This frenzy led to overproduction and the eventual decline of the daffodil production in the Daffodil Capitol of America. (Ray, 1991) The Daffodil Festival offers one four year renewable scholarship worth $1000 each year.
