Tulips on Troost

An Initiative for change

  • 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.

This morning Tulips on Troost and Center High School welcomed Stan Slaughter, "Eco-Troubador", to teach us about worms and composting! It was an exciting session. Afterwards, we continued in the greenhouse with Steve Jenks to plant several more flats of seeds.

Stan does an impression of a worm moving through dirt.

Stan puts piles of worms on paper plates for students to look at.

CHS participants dig through their worm plate on an assignment to find baby worms--a sign that the worm colony is healthy and growing.
