Photo1: Tulip
I came to Winnipeg, Canada in August, 2007. I was always looking for different festivals, events in Winnipeg as well as in Manitoba. I saw beautiful photos of Tulip Festivals in Ottawa (Canada), Sydney (Australia), New York (USA). I was wondering whether there was any such festival in Winnipeg or in Manitoba. And I found one in Assinboine Park, Winnipeg. It was inside the city so very easily accessible. It is the first Tulip Festival I've attended.
It was the first Tulip Festival in Winnipeg as well as in Manitoba. Winnipeg is the coldest city in the world where more than 600,000 people live. So the harsh weather is a big obstacle for growing Tulip. In 2008, Dutch Community of Winnipeg donated 10,000 tulips to Leo Mol Sculpture garden in Assinboine Park which leads to the first ever Tulip Festival in Manitoba in the end of May, 2009.
Leo Mol sculpture garden is a small part of Assinboine park. There are lots of sculptures here. There is a building which preserves lots of sculptures related to Manitoban and Canadian culture.
