Photo of Winnipeg Blub Project director Derek Yarnell, centre, with volunteer bulb planters Madhavi Messmer and Nyree Bridgmyn in a Park in the West Broadway area. The 2nd annual Winnipeg Bulb Project is a non-profit, volunteer-driven initiative to put flowers in gardens and yards in the North End and downtown. Yarnell said the project "aims to connect people living in urban neighbourhoods with nature, one bulb at a time." He donated 2,000 to various community organzations last year and has increased that donation to 11,500 this year and spread them around to about 20 community groups and schools.
