WEST SEATTLE SCENE: The Junction’s new flower baskets are here!

Another sign it’s almost summer – the West Seattle Junction Association‘s flower baskets arrived today! As we first reported back in January, WSJA is using a new grower this year – Van Wingerden Greenhouses – and though this year’s 93 flower baskets are bigger, they need less water.

Again this year, WSJA offered flower-basket “adoption” to help cover the costs; WSB is among the dozens of businesses and individuals who pitched in. P.S. The Junction’s biggest event of the year, West Seattle Summer Fest, is now just two months away – Friday through Sunday, July 14-16.

    I’m sorry but those 2 look pretty rugged, hope a little water perks them back up.

      They’d just come off an hour-long truck trip, among other factors.

        Is it too late to adopt a basket?

        Hour long truck ride! They’re probably very happy then to be out in the fresh air!

          Blaine, as reported in the January story linked in this one. That’s actually farther than an hour, actually, I think I was imagining more Skagit County than Whatcom County …

    Yay! I love these and they so beautify the junction. We “adopted” one, so need to figure out how to find it.

      Chris from WSJA sent a note this afternoon that plaques are running behind but she plans to put those up a week from Wednesday.

Sorry, comment time is over.
