Welland residents can get a free bag of tulips this Friday
The City of Welland is about to host its annual tulip giveaway.
On Friday, residents can pick up a free bag of tulip bulbs at the Quaker Road sports complex between 7:30 and 9:30 a.m.
Bags can be picked up in the parking lot.
"The giveaway is a great way to connect with local residents on the importance of greenery while brightening up our local neighbourhoods with colourful tulips," said Dave Steven, acting manager of parks and open spaces. "The popularity of this event increases year-over-year, and we expect another good turnout."
There is a limit of one bag per car, and varieties and colours cannot be guaranteed.
In the past, about 12,000 bulbs have been given away each year.
