Tulips on Troost aims to change the face of Troost Avenue by planting one million tulips along the Avenue in honor of an early Kansas City leader, Dr. Benoist Troost. Through this mission, we hope to inspire and motivate the citizens of Kansas City to recognize the value of neighborhood capital improvements and beautification in some of the city's most under-served neighborhoods. 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.
Yesterday, Tulips on Troost was joined by 27 volunteers from Rockhurst University and Spay & Neuter KC to clean-up and beautify SNKC's property and the neighboring property (NHS) at 59th & Troost. The event was sponsored by Rockhurst's Freshman Orientation/Finucane Service Day. And we were very thankful the temperatures dropped about 15 degrees compared to last week for us to work out in the sun! Volunteers did extensive weeding (tree-size weeds) and other clean-up, to prepare the property for planting tulips and other shrubs and flowers this Fall. Thanks to all who supported the event.
