About the project
The Beautification Fund enables the renovation of parks and playgrounds, repairs to plaques, planting of trees and flowers and other projects throughout the city on an ongoing basis. The fund has been supported by numerous donors from all over the world. An annual component of the project has been the tulip campaign sponsored by the Netherlands-Israel Committee, in which more than 100,000 bulbs are planted annually throughout the city (including Teddy tulips–a variety developed to suit the Jerusalem climate) and the similar effort by Christians for Israel, who plant bulbs at parks, schools, community centers and other sites in Jerusalem.
