<\/a>In 2020, passionate gardener Isabelle came up with the idea of buying tulip bulbs from the Netherlands and selling them to friends and family to help find a cure for Parkinson\u2019s disease.\u00a0 She initially set a target of selling 500 \u2018\u2019Tulips for Hope\u2019\u2019 packets, but she and her team of volunteers found that demand was so high that they had to twice re-order bulbs. By early December, the team had sold over 1,000 packets and raised 13.791,69 euros for Parkinson\u2019s research!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it worked because the concept is simple, the symbolism is strong and everyone feels good about the transaction,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot only is a red tulip the international symbol for Parkinson\u2019s disease but the idea of planting bulbs in autumn to enjoy the benefits at a later date represents the idea of investing in research now to ensure a cure in the future. By buying our tulip bulbs people get to feel good about supporting a charity AND seeing tulips in their garden around the time of World Parkinson\u2019s Day on April 11th. It\u2019s a real win-win!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following last year\u2019s success, Isabelle and her team have again ordered tulip bulbs and will be preparing the \u2018\u2019Tulips for Hope\u2019\u2019 packages for sale from October through to December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year, we are being more ambitious and will have 900 packets to sell initially and we hope that demand will once again be high and we will need to re-order,\u201d <\/em>Isabelle said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe really hope more people will help us sell the bulbs so that we reach more people, raising awareness about Parkinson\u2019s disease at the same time as raising funds for research.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tulips Isabelle has chosen for \u2018\u2019Tulips for Hope\u2019\u2019 2021 are a mix of red and red\/white.\u00a0 They will make a very striking display next Spring around the time of the World Parkinson\u2019s Awareness Day on Monday, April 11th .\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Isabelle encourages people to buy the bulbs for themselves \u2013 whether in gardens, on balconies or in containers \u2013 or as gifts for friends, dinner favours or even an activity that grandparents can share with their grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
