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.
On Saturday, a handful of volunteers from a group called Promiseland and peace advocates from United4Iran came out to the 54th Street Community Garden to plant tulips for a cause! 
Thank you Tulips on Troost for providing us with this amazing aoppportunity.
