Get Your Shovels Ready

Now is the time to begin getting your flower beds ready for the October tulip planting season. The “Tulips on Troost Avenue” Project got a kick start several weeks ago when Rockhurst students and neighborhood volunteers installed ten flower beds around the tree wells on the west side of Troost in the 5500 block. It looks wonderful! More tree wells are available if you are interested in helping, just call Durwin Rice at 816-361-6825.

 

For those of you planting your own flower beds, tulips can be ordered through Southtown or Durwin Rice. Planting should take place in early October. If you need some advice on how and what to plant, we have some planting experts standing by. We are counting on everyone’s participation as we transform Troost Avenue with a sea of tulips and flower beds!
