Fair Haven Overhead

The Pella Garden Club is taking on the task of re-introducing the memorial tulip and flower garden at Fair Haven, and they are looking for the community’s help.
The club has pledged to provide planting and care of the beds over a minimum of the next five years. A committee is in the process of collecting contributions to cover the future cost of maintaining the garden. When contributions reach the goal of $150,000, a memorial will be erected to honor those veterans who served in World War II. More than half the total, over $75,000, has been raised. Contributions can be sent by mail to The Pella Garden Club, P.O. Box 164, Pella. The memorial garden was first launched following World War II when the Netherlands donated thousands of tulip bulbs to Pella as a token of their appreciation for post-war aid sent by Pella residents.
