About the Ballard Alliance Planters

Every spring, sponsored planters are installed on the sidewalks at key intersections throughout the Ballard Improvement Area. A variety of flowers and plants are carefully selected and arranged in each planter. The planters are filled and overflowing with beautiful flowers that brighten the Ballard streetscape with vibrant colors and greenery. The planters are installed in early May and remain in place until October each year.

A very big thank you to our 2025 Flower planter sponsors!

Our planter sponsors’ contribution supports the necessary bi-weekly watering and maintenance that these flowers and plants require and creates a brighter Ballard during nearly three seasons of the year. Check out to map below to find the location of each of our planters and who sponsored them. (click map to enlarge)
