Tulips on Troost

An Initiative for change

  • Tulips on Troost aims to change the face of Troost Avenue by planting one million tulips along the Avenue in honor of an early Kansas City leader, Dr. Benoist Troost. Through this mission, we hope to inspire and motivate the citizens of Kansas City to recognize the value of neighborhood capital improvements and beautification in some of the city's most under-served neighborhoods. Tulips are just on the surface—our deep-rooted goal is to use a beautiful, accessible thing like a tulip to represent positive change on Troost and to let the city know that Troost is worth our time, efforts, and resources.

While the Mayor and city leaders were in Seattle, we hope somebody picked up on the Skagit Valley's tulips and waterfront success: Tulips, Artists and History Create Waterfront Charm

A success which we think can be repeated here. After all we have tulips, artists, history AND a river!

Alright, currently there are no plans for a Kansas City/Missouri River Boat Dock but that doesn't mean the forward thinking organizers of KC's First Annual River Regatta don't have a really great idea for bulding one.
