“Tulip Town Remembered” by founder Jeannette DeGoede for sale now

Apr 16, 2023

Get your copy of this special piece of Tulip History as told through the voice of Jeannette DeGoede, who founded Tulip Town along with her husband Tom. Find out how Jeannette learned the tulip industry “on-the-job” and how dedication and devotion allowed her and Tom to flourish.

Jeannette dedicates this book to Tom, “… This book is dedicated to my husband, and our five remarkable children. He completed all the chapters of his book of life on June 2, 2019. We enjoyed 60 years together, as best friends lovers, and caretakers of our property.”

Readers will hear Jeannette’s voice throughout the book as she tells their story. It is the story of America — immigrants coming here, working hard, having a dream and fulfilling that dream.

You can purchase the book on-line through our store or in person at our headquarters, 311 W Kincaid St., Mount Vernon, WA. If you would like to meet Jeannette in-person, she will be signing her book on April 20 from noon to 3 pm at Seaport Books, 106 S First St. in La Conner (it is in Gilkey Square on the south side).
