Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, areas of the Kent Campus have begun showing some green. On Daffodil Hill, near The Commons and the Victory Bell, the eponymous flowers have begun to sprout from their bulbs, and some even have small flowers.
It was initially intended that the daffodils would bloom around the first week of May, to align with May 4 remembrances on campus. However, climate change has caused USDA Plant Hardiness Zones to shift, with warmer temperatures regularly occuring earlier in the season, causing daffodils to bloom before May in Northeast Ohio.
