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 2025 season’s planters are installed throughout the neighborhood core in 26 locations.

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!
