Adopt a Planter Agreement
The objective of this program is to continue the commitment to beautify and protect our City Planters
and Flower Beds’ appearance for the enjoyment and benefit of everyone. The flower planters need
regular care to clean up trash, plant flowers, remove weeds and watering. Those adopting a planter
agree to maintain the planter throughout the summer growing season and keep the area free from
debris and trash throughout the year.
