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