On January 8th, Patti planted the bulbs given to Mary Bennett as a Green Streets gardener that celebrate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands at the end of WWII.
These are Liberation 75’ (website Liberation75.ca.) As intended they were in bloom for May 5th.
Ours are some of 110,000 tulips planted around Vancouver including at Mountainview Cemetery.
Here’s an article about the project:
