Tulips on Troost: Buy a Plant, Support a Poet

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.

Write Now is having a plant sale this Saturday, May 9, 2009 from 9am to 2pm at Center High School (8715 Holmes).

All of the plants for the sale have been GROWN FROM SEED in the greenhouse at Center High School with the help of TOT volunteers from Rockhurst University and Ms. Evans CHS class. Proceeds from the sale will provide funds for the Write Now Poetry Team to compete in Chicago at the International Brave New Voices Teen Poetry Slam AND will support Ms Evans' class greenhouse studies AND will further the planting of native species on Troost Avenue.

PLEASE HELP US PROMOTE THIS EVENT by re-posting where you can. We also have flyer artwork that you can request via email: durwinrice@durwinrice.com

Thanks for your support!
