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. 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.
Many thanks go out to all from Rockhurst University who helped plant this past Saturday!
In addition to the 45 Alberta Dwarf Spruce tress, we planted 400 Daffodil bulbs on the 5500 block and at Friendship Park (57th and Forest). The spruce trees are all around...some 26 are lined up on 55th Street marching east of Troost towards Paseo.
