Beautiful hanging flower baskets and corner parks bursting with color are a sure sign that spring has arrived in Edmonds.

Initiated in the mid-1970's as an element of the Street Beautification Program, the City's floral displays are aided by Edmonds' mild marine climate which is suitable for a broad range of ornamental plants.

Over 20,000 plants are used in the overall flower program.  The flowers selected must tolerate extreme weather conditions yet remain colorful from May to mid September. New color combinations and plant materials are developed yearly based on hardiness, ease of care, and performance. The flowers that adorn the hanging baskets and corner parks are grown from seed in City greenhouses.

Each spring, City staff and community volunteers work together to begin planting the parks and hanging baskets.  To volunteer call 425.771.0230 ext 1383.
