Greenville program to plant flowers

Planting Day!
In 2007, Main Street Greenville created the Adopt-A-Box Flower Program
in downtown Greenville. Since then, more than 70 flower boxes and pots
are funded and planted each Spring by individuals and businesses
located in the community.
This year’s Downtown Planting Day will be held on Saturday, May 20th
from 8:00 - 11:00 am. During this time, more than 60 volunteers gather
downtown to plant the flowers along South Broadway.
The Adopt-A-Box Flower Program was created to increase community pride
and provide an active and colorful atmosphere. “Planting fresh flowers
in the boxes along Broadway brings such a sense of life and vibrancy to
the downtown district,” said Crysta Hutchinson, Executive Director of
Main Street Greenville. “The volunteers who donate their time take
pride in their hometown and they know that little touches can make all
the difference.”
The Adopt-A-Box Flower Program also receives sponsorship and assistance
from BASF Corporation, Miller Flowers Greenhouse & Florist, and
Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln.
If you would like to volunteer for this event, please contact Main
Street Greenville for instructions, all are welcome to help with this
community activity.
