By Downtown Mansfield, Inc.
For over 13 years, a community of donors and volunteers have joined The City of Mansfield and Downtown Mansfield, Inc. to beautify downtown. Each year, we strive to make the community even more beautiful through a concentrated effort including the planting of over 1000 flowers throughout the downtown. We have received some national recognition for the efforts and have heard from many in the community who enjoy the floral displays all summer.
We could not do this work without your support! To achieve our beautification goals for 2022, we are launching our annual fundraising effort. The PlantLove campaign will seek to fund downtown beautification annually in lieu of project by project requests. This funding covers projects from April to December and includes regular cleanups, planter maintenance, soil, growing agents, as well as flowers, plants, and evergreens seasonally!
This year, our goal is to raise $20,000 and will include the summer plants, the fall mums, and replacements for the winter evergreens. Donations typically range from $50 to $1,000 and are appreciated in any amount!
You can make your donation online here.
Our planting and cleanup day is set for May 17. If you are interested in volunteering for beautification projects, please note plastic gloves, trash bags and refreshments will be provided, however, individuals should provide their own trowels or gardening tools. Sign up here to volunteer.
