Now that Tulip Time is over, tulips planted in specified streets beds and the City of Pella parks will be available for removal tomorrow.

Digging begins at 7 a.m.

The street beds are located between the sidewalk and the street on:
Main St between Peace and Liberty, & between Washington and Sunken Gardens
Washington St from Open Bible Church west to Brinkhoff Park
Franklin St from the Post Office west to West Market Park

City parks include: Brinkhoff, Central, West Market, Sunken Gardens, South Park, Community Center, Library, City Hall, and the Klokkenspel. Removal from any other bed is prohibited. Applies to tulip bulbs only – not any other spring bulbs or perennial flowers or shrubs that may be located in the parks.

New this year — Fair Haven Memorial tulips beds at the Union and E 3rd Street intersection are also available for digging. City staff asks those digging to abide by on-site signage as tulips in formal landscaped areas or in perennial beds are not available for digging.

The beds will be replaced with flowers for the summer and fall, with tulip planting to take place in October with over 100,000 new bulbs.

Notice from city parks staff:
Please use a pitch fork when digging up tulip bulbs and remove all foliage with the bulb. Please do not leave steams and/or leaves behind. All soil must remain in the flower beds. If soil is spilled outside the bed during removal please rake it back in the bed.
