The Demoucelle Parkinson Charity will hold its annual fundraising sale of tulip bulbs from the end of September to the beginning of December and is looking for many more volunteers prepared to sell 20 packets to friends, family, neighbours and colleagues in support of Parkinson’s disease research.
Will you become a ‘Tulips for Hope’ ambassador by selling packets of tulip bulbs?
There is no long-term commitment or financial risk. A simple and positive way to support research.
Would your company agree to host a sale of tulip bulb packets during the lunch hour?
Our volunteers would be happy to set up a stand.
Would you like to buy one, or more, packets of tulip bulbs?
20 bulbs for 15 euros.

The international symbol for Parkinson’s disease is a tulip and over the past four years the ‘Tulips for Hope’ fundraiser has raised over 50,000 euros. This year, we have decided to sell packets of bulbs that will produce white tulips with striking red markings.
“Although the official Parkinson’s tulip is red, we select a different tulip each year and this year’s tulip is particularly striking being mostly white with red markings. Selling these beautiful flower bulbs is a win-win for gardens, terraces and Parkinson’s research,” Anne-Marie Demoucelle said.
“The tulip bulb packets also make great gifts and people enjoy planting the bulbs with their children and grandchildren. In this way we also raise awareness about the world’s fastest-growing neurodegenerative disease and the need to accelerate research to find a cure.”
Each packet of 20 bulbs is sold for 15 euros and we aim to sell 900 packets with the help of volunteers, pharmacies, medical centres and fitness gyms. The bulbs will be available from the end of September until early December and we hope that more people will join the volunteer sales team.
“If you are looking for a low-commitment, no-financial-risk way to support Parkinson’s research, this is it! You can feel good about helping to find a cure for this disease AND bringing colour and joy to people’s outdoor spaces next Spring.’’ said project-initiator Isabelle.
