No matter how long the winter... spring is sure to follow! We are now accepting donations for Flower Baskets from downtown Quincy through East Quincy.
If you love these baskets as much as we do, please consider donating to the Flower Basket project. All contributions count, but if you donate $300 or more you can sponsor a basket for an entire growing season. Basket sponsors also receive a plaque under one of the baskets with the name of the donor and a brief message the donor would like to share.
THANK YOU for helping to make our small mountain town even more beautiful with your flower basket sponsorships
