The nonprofit Floretum Garden Club was formed in 1922. In 1956, it began an Edmonds tradition when it co-sponsored with the Chamber of Commerce the making of 50 hanging baskets for downtown beautification.
Each year, the club plants the hanging baskets and also plants flowers on the street corner at Fifth Avenue and Main Street. It holds an annual plant sale, and the next one is in May at PCC, with funds going to college studetns majoring in horticulture.
Club members assisted in the design process of the , now being renovated, and donated $12,000 to the project.
