Arborfield cenotaph consists of a shaft on a platform. It was built to honor the soldiers who gave their lives in battle. The Dutch Canadian Friendship tulip garden is planted nearby.
The Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Garden was erected in 2015 in partnership with Arborfield Legion Branch 203 and Communities in Bloom (CIB). Volunteers planted an interlaced pattern of red and white tulip bulbs in the garden beds surrounding the Memorial. The blooms will offer a visual reminder next spring of the link between the two countries.
Arborfield was one of the 140 communities selected from the more than 400 applications received by the Canadian Garden Council. Each of the 140 new 70th Anniversary Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Gardens across the country will consist of 700 red and white tulip bulbs (350 of each colour) donated by Vesey’s Bulbs in Prince Edward Island.
