Westcott Neighborhood Bulb Project

Since the Westcott Neighborhood Bulb Project started in 2003, approximately 72,000 spring blooming bulbs (daffodils, crocuses, tulips etc.) have been planted by neighborhood volunteers and residents.

The concept is simple – Community groups volunteer to plant bulbs in public spaces such as schools, median strips, libraries etc.

Individuals who are willing to plant bulbs in front of their houses where all can enjoy the blooms, pick up packets (18) of free bulbs in the fall. Last year 300 people from the Westcott  neighborhood participated.

Bulb Giveaway and Garden Extravaganva – Saturday, October 1, 2011 – 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Westcott Community Center (corner of Euclid and Westcott)

In 2010 we expanded the project city wide. Over 20 neighborhood organizations helped plant 22,000 throughout the city.  Each community organization decides what will be done in their neighborhood. See our 2010 Bulb Project report to learn  what the different neighborhood organizations accomplished.

View our 3 minute video on the neighborhood by Mark Rupert or his google earth photos of the bulb project in action in the neighborhood.

For children our two librarians on the WNBP  put together a list of ten garden related books.
