Parliament-Tulips

Thanks to the Canadian Garden Council and a generous donation from Vesey’s Bulbs of PEI, 150 communities and organizations from coast to coast have been selected to receive a spectacular 150th Celebration Garden.

Each garden consists of 1,000 red and white tulip bulbs to be planted this fall and bloom next spring just in time to say “Happy Birthday to Our Home and Native Land”.

The tulip is an international symbol of friendship and of spring.  For Canadians, especially, the tulip is a symbol of our national ethos of kindness and friendship, witnessed, in particular, by our providing refuge to the Dutch Royal family during WWII.

Timmins is just one of the many communities chosen.  CLICK HERE to see who else made the cut.
