Elevating our Streetscapes
Flowers on Douglas is a successful downtown beautification project launched in 2017. Each year, more than 12,000 flowers fill planter pots and hanging baskets along Wichita's Douglas Avenue. The effort is led by Cindy Carnahan in partnership with Downtown Wichita, Hein Lawn and Landscaping and a team of master gardeners.
Installation
In April of 2017, more than 100 planters along Douglas Avenue showcased flowers and greenery.
Project Expansion
In June of 2018, over 80 hanging baskets filled with cascading flowers were added to further enhance the beautiful foliage. Today, there are more than 120 hanging baskets lining Douglas Avenue.
Current Plantings
Today, the initiative has expanded to include 123 planter pots and 126 hanging baskets. The first planting, which typically occurs at the end of March and features pansies and cabbage, initiates the annual cycle, which includes approximately 167 flats of flowers planted twice a year. The next planting of summer annuals takes place in early June.
