Flower pots to return to downtown Ballard this spring

Flower pots are returning to downtown Ballard this spring.

The 2nd annual Ballard Alliance Flower Planter Program is kicking off in early May, and the Alliance is opening up sponsorship opportunities to help maintain the flower pots.

The program started last year with just nine pots scattered around Ballard. This year, they have 26 flower pots in the works. Here’s a map of where they’ll be installing the flower pots.

Businesses or individuals can sponsor a 2025 planter for $250. The Alliance says the sponsorships will help to keep the flowers watered and maintained. Business owners will receive a plaque in the planter, and individuals may dedicate their planter to a cause or in honor of a person and have it displayed on a planter plaque.

The Alliance is accepting sponsorship applications until March 21.
