Volunteers Plant 1000 Tullips at Rose Garden

On Saturday, October 17, 2015, volunteers with the group Living with RSDS, working side by side with of the Horticulture Staff at Colonial Park Gardens, planted over 1,000 tulip bulbs around the pond at the Rudolf W. van der Goot Rose Garden. The planting was part of a program called “Blooming Awareness for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.”

“Blooming Awareness” is a volunteer effort designed to bring increased attention to RSDS, a chronic pain disease.  Living with RSDS is an organization that offers support, education, and awareness to patients, their family, friends, communities, and medical professionals. The program is structured around plantings in the fall with resulting awareness programs as the tulips bloom in the spring.
