May 18th 2016 Mrs. Dunfield and her grade 4 class, Members of Communities in Bloom Sussex and 8th Hussars Museum gathered at the Dutch Canadian Friendship Garden that we planted last fall at Town Hall to take photographs. The tulip bulbs were provided by Vesey's.
In 2015 The Town of Sussex was honored to have been selected through an application from Communities in Bloom to help celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of The Netherlands. As Canada’s major importer of Dutch Bulbs, Vesey’s recognized that a celebration of the very special 70th anniversary ending WW2 was incredibly important and should not pass by without their involvement.
Since Vesey’s customers are spread across the entire nation, the company wanted to make this a truly Canadian Gift. To accomplish this goal, they made available 140 tulip gardens, each containing 700 red & white tulips, to various communities across Canada.
To complete the obligation to Vesey's below are photographs of the gardens today, Beautiful !! We are very Proud of the Gardens.
