The Biggest Little Bulb project lives! This is your leader Debe Fennell, and I'll be your point of contact for the planting event. I've managed these gardens for 10 years and work closely with City Parks and KTMB to help make Reno beautiful. You can help: Saturday Oct. 18 from 9am to noon will see Rotarians and other volunteers planting 1600 tulips along Riverside Drive. To help us bring a hat, water and sunscreen.
