As autumn settles in across the area, it’s almost time to plant tulip bulbs in Pella. Valerie Van Kooten with Pella Historical Society says between their efforts and those from the City of Pella and other groups, approximately 300,000 bulbs will go into the ground later this month into November ahead of next spring’s planting. Van Kooten says they often rely on volunteers to get their summer plants out to make room for tulip bulbs. Find out how to volunteer at the Pella Historical Village at their website.
