How Your Purchase Makes a Difference
Your tulip purchase directly supports people living with Parkinson’s disease by helping fund educational resources, essential medical equipment, caregiver support, and other vital needs.
​​​
Why the Tulip?
The tulip has been associated with Parkinson’s Awareness since 1980 when J.W.S. Van der Wereld, a Dutch horticulturalist who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, developed a red & white tulip to honor Dr. James Parkinson, the doctor who first described the disease.
The South Dakota Parkinson Foundation (SDPF) and Landscape Garden Centers have partnered together to help raise awareness about Parkinson's disease and spread some springtime cheer by selling beautiful potted tulip arrangements. SDPF would like to THANK YOU for your support. Proceeds remain within the state of SD to support individuals living with Parkinson’s, their families, care partners and the Parkinson's community.
