Plant It Pink

Spring is in the air! And we are in for a very special treat this Spring as the Argenta Arts District turns PINK. Yes, 28 flower beds and 50 flower pots have been planted with 25,000 (count them, 25,000!) PINK tulips in time to bloom for the Plant It Pink Tulip Festival. The festival is March 25-April 3 in downtown North Little Rock’s Argenta Arts District to honor those families affected by breast cancer. Proceeds of the festival will go to benefit the Arkansas Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Sponsorships are available. Tulip planters are $350 each and tulip beds are $1,000 each. Each bed and planter will have a plaque with the sponsor's name. Many people are sponsoring the beds in honor or memory of a loved one. The plaque can have whatever you'd like - with limited space and words. And, the plaque will go to the sponsor for a keepsake at the end of the festival. Time is limited to get the plaques printed, so if you are interested, please act quickly.
