Downtown Planting Day 2024

Join us for our fifth annual Downtown Planting Day on April 27! Volunteers will spend around 2 hours planting flowers in the street planters -- you're welcome to stay the entire time, or just long enough to plant one planter. There are two check-in times: 9:30am and 11:00am. Please ensure you're registering for the time you plan to arrive on Planting Day.

Volunteers should plan to bring the following supplies:

• Gardening gloves
• Gardening tools for planting & weeding, e.g. trowel, hand rake, hand pruners, etc.
• A bucket for toting your tools, if desired
• Weather protection, e.g. sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, rain gear
• Refillable water bottle

If you own a gardening cart/wheelbarrow/wagon and can feasibly transport it downtown, we encourage you to bring it for easier transportation of plants from Wetmore Plaza to your assigned planter(s).

Thank you for keeping the Downtown Flower Program growing and thriving!

With nearly 300 planters and hanging baskets to maintain, the program costs about $16,000 each year. If you'd like to help keep Downtown Everett in bloom, consider donating to the Downtown Everett Partners. Suggested donation amounts are $25 to sponsor a mini planter, $50 for a small planter, and $75 for a large planter.
