TULIP TIME HISTORY
Mr. Jerold Binkley, a member of Topeka Beautification Association, dedicated himself to years of service to the Topeka community. For 22 years, he shared his personal gardens with visitors to Topeka. Since its beginning, all proceeds from Tulip Time have been used for landscaping projects at Lake Shawnee’s Ted Ensley Gardens, Washburn University, Gage Park, the Shunga Trail, Wanamaker Elementary School, the Capper Foundation, and Cedar Crest. It is Mr. Binkley’s desire to create an ongoing and beautiful countywide event with the Tulip Time Festival.
