Join the Scouts and Guides at Coquitlam's Blue Mountain Park next month as the youth service clubs plant 1,000 tulip bulbs to mark the country's 150th year.
On Sunday, Nov. 6, the city's Park Spark team along with the 10th Coquitlam Beaver and Cub Scouts as well as the 13th Eagle Mountain Guides will begin the Coquitlam 150th Celebration Garden — one of 150 similar gardens to be planted around Canada.
Coquitlam's version will feature 500 White Hakuun tulips and 500 Red Impression tulips donated by Vesey’s bulbs of Prince Edward Island. Tulips are an international symbol of friendship and of spring.
The public planting event will take place rain or shine, from 10 a.m. to noon at the park (975 King Albert Ave.) on Nov. 6. Participants are asked to dress appropriately. Visit coquitlam.ca/parkspark for more details.
