The daffodil garden was planted in 1992 in memory of local daffodil breeders Hugh Dettman, Eve Murray and Alister Clark.
The history of the Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival can be traced back to the late Alister Clark of ‘Glenara’ at Bulla. Alister is considered to be the best known and most successful of rose and daffodil breeders between the two World Wars. He inspired and assisted the late Hugh Dettmann of Kyneton to commence a daffodil breeding program in this region. Hugh Dettmann in turn assisted the late Eve Murray of Langley to begin growing daffodils from seed.
