Want to add a splash of colour to your storefront? The City of St. Catharines and the City’s Green Advisory Committee can help.
Businesses can sponsor professionally designed and planted 24-inch pots filled with colourful flowers and plants for out front of their stores, offices and other businesses.
“The flower pots are always very popular and the program is a great way to grow community pride, liven up our streets and make them more beautiful and friendly,” said Development Horticultural Technician Ilyse Norton.
Sponsorship fees for flower pots are as follow: $86.50 for one flower pot, $162.15 for two, $226.35 for three and $280.05 for four. Fees cover the cost of the planter, soil, the plants and fertilizer. Businesses are responsible for watering and maintaining the pots throughout the season.
“We look forward to partnering with local businesses through the flower pot program again this year,” said Norton. “We know a strong sense of community pride is key for a more prosperous St. Catharines and the flower pots play a role in making our city a beautiful, friendly place we can all take pride in.”
Business owners can order flower pots to be delivered to their storefront at www.engageSTC.ca/FlowerPots. Orders must be submitted by Friday, May 14 at 4:30 p.m. Flower pots will be delivered in late spring and picked up in early fall.
