Tulips on Troost

An Initiative for change

  • 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.

On January 1st the new Troost Max begins service on Troost Avenue.  As part of that Avenue long celebration, why not take your first MAX ride on Troost and join our certified Petal Pushers at 18th Street for our annual January 1st Tulip Planting Event. 

The ice cold fun begins at 10AM on 1/1/11 and then we'll scurry over to Grinders for lunch.  It's your last chance to volunteer and be a part of Troost Avenue's 2011 blooms.
