Tulips on Troost, a project of the Southtown Foundation, aims to change the face of Troost Avenue by planting one million tulips along the Avenue by 2010. Through this mission, we hope to inspire and motivate the citizens of Kansas City to recognize the value of neighborhood revitalization and beautification in some of the city's most historic districts. 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.
TOT's Imagine Peace Tree in action on Earth Day 2009 at Sprint in Overland Park, KS. It's a Japanese Clethra that's still looking for the perfect home on Troost Avenue! Does anybody know of a great spot for this tree? Thanks to the Center High School poets who invited us to join them on Earth Day at Sprint!
