Flower Planter Program

Creating a Brighter Ballard - Neighborhood Flower Planters

 

About Ballard Alliance Planters: 

Every spring, sponsored planters are installed on the sidewalks at key intersections throughout the Ballard Improvement Area.

These planters are filled with beautiful flowers that brighten the Ballard streetscape with vibrant colors and greenery.

The 2026 season’s planters are at the nursery preparing to dazzle the neighborhood. Once they reach optimal growth, we will install throughout the neighborhood core in 26 locations. We estimate they will be ready by late April – early May.

Each planter was sponsored by a neighborhood business or resident. Please use the map below to explore Ballard and enjoy these stunning potted bouquets.

A special thanks to all of this year’s flower planter sponsors and volunteers!
