Waterville Creates! and The Yellow Tulip Project are teaming up to smash the stigma around mental illness by planting vibrant yellow tulips in comm unity Hope Gardens at the RiverWalk at Head of Falls, Veteran’s Memorial Pa rk, and at the Bill and Joan Alfond Main Street Commons in downtown Watervi lle. The Yellow Tulip Project was founded by Julia Hansen when she was just a sophomore in high school. The public is invited to participate in the pl anting of the Hope Gardens on Saturday, October 12. Planting will begin at the RiverWalk at 2:00 pm and finish at the Veteran’s Memorial Park. A Yello w Tulip ambassador, Abi Bloom, will lead the opening ceremony at the Vetera n’s Memorial Park at 4pm, where there will be hot cocoa and cider to enjoy.
Participating organizations include Waterville High School, Kennebec Behavioral Health, Waterville Parks and Recreation, Hardy Girls/Healthy Wo men, The Family Enrichment Council, Maine General Hospital, Johnny’s Select ed Seeds, FEDCO Bulbs, Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville Peer Support Center, the Universalist Unitarian Church, Waterville Rotary Club, Watervi lle Lions Club, Maine Film Center, as well as many privately-owned pro perties throughout Waterville.
Julia had the goal to make a spa ce for determined youth to join together to eradicate the stigma surroundin g mental illness, build communities, and spark conversations about how to d ecrease the suicide rate. This is done through the Hope Gardens and related programming. In May, when the tulips are in full bloom, there will be asso ciated wellness events available for all to attend in Waterville.
