Gene Bauer

Gene Bauer is perhaps best known as "the daffodil lady" for her elaborate daffodil garden. For more than 50 years, Bauer artistically "painted the hillside" with more than one million daffodil bulbs, opening their land in Running Springs, California, to the public each spring for thousands to enjoy. Bauer served as golden native chairman (1972-1974), and arboreta and botanical gardens chairman (1976-1978), of the California Garden Clubs, Inc.
