Yellow Tulip Project Hope Gardens in Vermont
I am so thankful for all of the people who volunteered to plant YTP Hope Gardens in Vermont this past fall. The photos and videos sent to us have been so inspiring, genuine and full of hope. We will all be staying in touch over the winter and will share more photos and videos of the yellow tulips when they bloom in the spring. I have asked everyone to create something from their experience of the tulips growing and blooming. Some people paint and dance, others do photography, many write, and others will be logging their observations - we are hoping that everyone creates something meaningful and hopeful to express their experience of growing the tulips.
I am especially thankful to be collaborating with Sarah Zobel who is an exceptional writer, diverse artist, kind neighbor, fellow runner and a very dear friend.
We will be working with everyone to create an art show about the YTP Vermont yellow tulip gardens to be exhibited in the fall of 2021.
βThe purpose of a Hope Garden is to instill hope and happiness. Hope Gardens bring a community together to collectively smash the stigma associated with mental illness. After a long winter, tulips remind us of perseverance and the renewal of spring.β
