Pella Historical Museums will be hosting their own tulip bulb dig. “Pillage the Village” starts with a Scholte Garden pickup — staff and volunteers are doing that dig before, with bulbs available for collection on Broadway Street on Monday. Pella Historical members can have their choice in the Historical Village on Tuesday, May 16th. Any remaining bulbs will be available to the public May 17th to 20th during regular hours. A suggested donation of $1 per bulb will benefit the organization responsible for Tulip Time.
