BULBS, a joint initiative from
Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation and Toronto Parks, Forestry
and Recreation, is a program m that seeks to beautify public parks
and other publicly accessible green spaces through establishing permanent
plantings of spring flowering bulbs. It encompasses a youth component
that works with community youth leadership programs and places youth
in an active role in planning and leading these planting events. Youth
leadership programs receive a grant from Toronto Parks and Trees
Foundation to apply towards other initiatives. Reinforcing research findings, the BULBS program will help build safer communities through greening and beautification, and by providing a forum for communities to work together. The BULBS program has included
youth leadership program initiated major plantings in six of Toronto's
Priority neighbourhoods. As well, dozens of community groups have
participated in local neighbourhood beautification projects. 90,000
daffodil bulbs have been planted across Toronto in the past two years. BULBS is supported by corporate and individual sponsorship and donations. Through this generosity, Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation can also continue to provide community grants for environmental, gardening, recreational and cultural activities in Toronto parks. In the past five years almost 100 grants have been provided to community groups. For information about sponsorship or donation opportunities or about participating in the BULBS program please contact Arthur Beauregard at 416-397-5178 or parksandtrees@toronto.ca.
