The Arthur and Area Historical Society is the recipient of one of 140 70th anniversary Dutch-Canadian friendship tulip gardens.
The gardens are being distributed across Canada in celebration of the first gift of 100,000 Dutch tulip bulbs sent to Canadians in 1945 as a symbol of appreciation for the role Canadian soldiers played in the liberation of the Netherlands and the hospitality Canada provided to the Dutch Royal Family in Ottawa during WWII.
The Arthur garden, donated by Vesey’s Bulbs of PEI, will be planted on Oct. 16 at 1pm in the raised flowerbed at the Arthur cenotaph.
