[Sarah Lu Heath]

Of all the folks that have these programs – do you know the total annual spend on baskets, watering, and repairs?

Hi Wesley,

We partner with the City of Independence for ours – we supply the baskets and they water them.  We’re lucky to have drip irrigation on our light poles which saves a huge amount of time and labor.

Hello!

We are looking for information on how other communities operate a flower basket program. Do you water the plants with volunteers, through the city, or hire an independent contractor?

Sincerely,
Wesley Murack
