Thank you to our dedicated volunteers who once again braved the rain to plant the colorful annuals which decorate our city!

We are excited to announce that Phase 1 of a 3 year plan has been completed to replace soil in all 15 of the 66 inch round containers and square containers on the East Street median. Thank you to the City of Pittsfield and Always Growing Landscaping!

The majority of the $20,000 we spend annually to plant and maintain public gardens comes from private donations made by individuals and businesses like you.

Please consider a one-time or recurring donation to support the planting of nearly 100 containers filled with colorful flowers and ornamental plants which provide welcoming color in the concrete medians and sidewalks in the downtown area and other public sites along Center, Elm, Fenn, Linden, Silver Lake Boulevard, East, First and South Streets.

Today was a “Downtown Blooms” planting day. Downtown Blooms focuses on replanting raised beds downtown with native plants. Native plants provide habitats, food, and shelter that specific insects, birds, and mammals need.

This year, Pittsfield Beautiful is planting 2 new beds of native plants and replacing plants in 14 others on North Street.

The new native garden beds will be on the corner of North and Bradford Street and in front of the new Allegrone building at North and Summer Street.

This brings it to a grand total of 80 beds from West Street to Wahconah Street maintained weekly by an ALL VOLUNTEER Pittsfield Beautiful crew. (This includes the 3 raised beds in Persip Park).

The majority of the $20,000 we spend annually to plant and maintain public gardens comes from private donations made by individuals and businesses like you.
