Tulips on Troost: Cyber Monday & the New Year's Day TOT Tulip Planting Locations

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.

Cyber Monday & the New Year's Day TOT Tulip Planting Locations

Today (December 1, 2008) just happens to be Cyber Monday and that leaves us just one month before our annual New Year's Day tulip planting event on January 1, 2009.

We know, we know....you were told that you can't plant tulips after the ground freezes but the truth is you can...okay, it's a little bit more difficult but what good thing in your life doesn't toss you a few good challenges?

And, since it's Cyber Monday, we'll contribute a tulip for every dollar spent in our online store between today and January 1st, 2009! It's never been so easy for you to contribute to the Tulip Project.

How many tulips we plant on January 1st is, of course, now up to the Fates or the Furies so our planting location(s) list may grow. But, for now, if you want to help, volunteer to plant or just bring us a cup of hot cocoa we're planning to start the day's events at the gravesite of Dr. Benoist Troost in Kansas City, MO.
