The agricultural farm 1910-1914
The farm
Yad Labanim - Founders’ Garden The agricultural farm In Hadera’s first plans from 1891, an area between HaNassi and Rothschild streets was designated as a public park ("Garden of Refinement"). In 1910, at the initiative of the Moshava Committee, the area was handed over to Aharon Aharonoson, a man from Zichron Yaacov, who was best known as the "mother of wheat". Aaronson raised funds from American Jews to establish an experimental farm that would conduct research and guide the first settlers in tillage and techniques for improving crops. The agricultural farm in Hadera was established as an affiliate of the agricultural station in Atlit and managed by Avshalom Feinberg from Hadera.
Aharon Aharonson and Avshalom Feinberg, close friends, also collaborated with each other to establish the Nili underground in order to end Turkish rule and help the British occupy the country, in the hope that the British would help the Zionist enterprise. From the period of the "agricultural farm," Washingtonia Avenue and two acacia trees remain in the garden.

The Integrated Garden: Yad LaBanim - The Founders’ Garden Over the years, the historic agricultural farm - "Yad Labanim" (1956) and the "Founders’ Garden" (1966) were established on the site. The monument in memory of the founders was designed by Micha Zilberman.
In 1989, the Friends of Yad Labanim Association was established under the auspices of the Hadera Municipality with the aim of redesigning the site and commemorating the founders and sons of one municipal memorial site, according to the vision of the association’s chairman Aaron Kemmerer.
The combined site is an environmental sculpture by the artist Dani Karavan and the architect Zvi Dekel, which connects past and present, using the distinct characteristics of Hadera: hamra soil, sand and kurkar, reeds and end, orchards, irrigation canals and a water well. In the center of the garden is the "White Road" that connects the Founders’ Garden with the Yad Labanim memorial site and the eight memorial pillars engraved with the names of the people of Hadera, the victims of the Israeli military.
Today, Washington Avenue envelops the white road that runs like a thread of memory and pain and connects the generation of founders who fought for the land of Hadera, and the generation of boys who fought for the land of Israel.
