Come help plant flowers through downtown and get it ready for the upcoming summer season!

Saturday, May 30, 2026
9 am- noon
Culligan Plaza

Volunteers should check-in at Culligan Plaza, then they will be directed where to go to plant the flowers. Please bring garden gloves and a small trowel!

This year’s flowers will be a combination of native perennials (coneflower, foxglove beardtongue, and black eyed susan) and annuals.

Contribute to our flower fund!

For $50, businesses, organizations, or individuals can sponsor a flat of flowers that will be planted around the downtown tree boxes. A small sign will be placed near each tree acknowledging the donation of each sponsor. After you donate, we will reach out to you to confirm what you would like written on your sign.

Donate online: https://downtownalpena.square.site/.

Checks/cash can also be mailed to Alpena DDA, 124 E Chisholm St., Alpena, MI 49707
