Our community association is thinking about starting a program to encourage community residents to volunteer to plant and care for one or more city planters. I'm wondering if anyone has experience we might learn from, or can direct me to a website that describes a program now in existence.
Our city, like many, has suffered from deteriorating budgets for greenspace development and maintenance and, over the years, has cut down on things like planting flowers, shrubs and trees as well as maintaining what it has. Hundreds of large concrete planters are now stored in a city warehouse somewhere. These could be used. If we (the community) agree to plant and maintain them, the City will bring them out of storage and place them where we want.
Our committee has other plans as well, but this one sounds easy and practical, and a good way to get citizens participating in a community effort.
Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.
