Volunteer
Opportunity in Downtown Greenville
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 25th
from 8:00 - 11:00 am. During this time, a group of volunteers gather
downtown to plant the flowers along South Broadway. Main Street
Greenville invites you to get your family, business, church, or
organization together and join us as we work to beautify our town!
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 Bloomingdale, 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 report to the
gazebo in front of the courthouse at 8:00 and bring a hand trowel,
gloves, and a broom if possible. All are welcome to help with this
community activity. Please contact Main Street Greenville at
info@mainstreetgreenville.org with any additional questions.
If you are interested in adopting a flower box, please contact Main
Street Greenville or fill out the adoption form on their website.
Flower boxes can be sponsored for $35 and flower pots for $50. Plaques
are placed on each box and pot to recognize the wonderful family of
donors who contribute to making downtown a beautiful destination!

stimulating and supporting revitalization efforts, historic
