FLOWER BASKET and ADOPT-A-POT season will soon be here…
Sponsor a “Basket of Flowers” that will be part of the Main Street Gardnerville District all Summer long. Your Basket of Flowers allows you to become part of the beautification of downtown Gardnerville as well as a supporter of the Horticultural Programs at China Spring Youth Camp/Aurora Pines Facility, Douglas High School and Smith Valley School.
Driving through Gardnerville in previous summers, you saw beautiful flowering baskets hanging from the lamp posts along the Main Street District. This summer our goal is to hang 62 baskets with your help.
The donation amount is $85 per basket. Gardnerville officials plan to hang the fully flowering baskets in early June, weather permitting. You can admire these lush flowers all summer long without having to water them! In return for your sponsorship, you will receive a card with a special message that can be used for any occasion.
And… The Main Street Gardnerville Program is taking orders for the wildly popular Adopt-a-Pots that stand proudly along our Main Street corridor. Cost to adopt-a-pot for the summer is $40. “We believe that the hanging flower baskets and sidewalk flower pots are one of the nicest and most important programs that Main Street Gardnerville does. Not only are they beautiful, but it shows that our community cares about the image of our town.” Marcia & Bill, Especially For You
Don’t miss out, this is your chance to help keep “Main Street in Bloom”.
To sponsor a basket or adopt-a-pot, call the Main Street Gardnerville office at 775.782.8027.
Main Street Gardnerville is a community based self-help program with various members of the community volunteering to revitalize the downtown. Even though Main Street Gardnerville focuses strictly on the downtown district, the program benefits the entire community and surrounding areas.
Main Street Gardnerville is a 501 (c) 6 non-profit corporation and an equal opportunity provider.
Own a piece of downtown…
The Main Street program has begun installing decorative four-foot metal benches downtown to accommodate and encourage pedestrians along the main street corridor.
You’ll find these benches at the Record Courier Center, the Historian Inn, Sharkey’s Casino, Heritage Park, the Town Offices, at the Stratton Center, John Scott State Farm Insurance and in front of the Carson Valley Middle School.
These benches can be sponsored by a service group, business, or by an individual/family. Each bench will have a plaque affixed to it, honoring your service club, business or individual/family.
The one-time cost is to be paid by sponsor(s) which will include bench, plaque and shipping at the prevailing rates.
These benches will add a nice touch to our downtown district.
Heritage Park Gardens (HPG) will be more than a community garden. The overarching goal will be to provide an area with multiple benefits to the community. There will be walking, demonstration, decorative and teaching gardens. HPG will include teaching gardens where families can learn to plant, harvest and share the produce grown. It is a project in which people of all ages benefit. In essence, participants will learn, grow, share and beautify and benefit from the charitable nature of the project.
Main Street Gardnerville has a community information kiosk located at the corner of Main Street and Eddy Street (next to JT’s).
The kiosk is provided free of charge for advertising special events, sales and promotions, to encourage visitors to Main Street Gardnerville.
Space reservations for the kiosk may be made at the Main Street Gardnerville office, within the Town Hall, at 1407 Main Street during regular business hours.
