Beautiful hanging flower baskets and corner parks bursting with color are a sure sign that spring has arrived in Edmonds.
Started in the mid-1970s as part of the Street Beautification Program, the City's floral displays benefit from Edmonds mild marine climate which suits 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 425.771.0383.
