Community flower baskets
The downtown hanging flower basket program adds beauty to Central Park, the bridge over the dam in Morehouse Park, and along Cedar Avenue in the heart of downtown. The flowers welcome residents and visitors. Through donations from individuals, organizations and businesses in Owatonna, the flower basket program has grown each year as we add additional baskets to proudly display in Owatonna.
In the fall of 2022, Owatonna MainStreet received a grant from the MN MainStreet program to use towards MainStreet improvements. We purchased all new baskets for our flowers that will be more efficient in storing water, therefore decreasing the amount of time spent on maintenance to the baskets.
A big thank you to our community partners:
- Cedar Valley Services – watering, fertilizing, and supplying the water truck
- Souba Greenhouse – assisting in the selection of flowers, growing the flowers from the beginning, and delivering the baskets when they are ready to hang
- City of Owatonna – hanging the baskets and moving any if needed during construction
MainStreet donates administrative services to make the program possible. 100% of funds raised go directly to the purchase, watering, and care of the flowers.
