Flower Box City
Filed Under Uncategorized |
Flower Box City is the nickname of the city of Neosho, Missouri, USA. In 1955 the town applied for and received a $5,000 grant from The New York Community Trust for a civic beautification project. Local companies provided lumber at cost, and Junior Chamber of Commerce members formed an assembly line to build more than 200 wooden flower boxes. Pet Milk Company donated 400 used, wooden barrels for container gardens, and town nurseries supplied plants at reduced rates. The town even dressed up trash cans and parking meters around the square with flower baskets.
The effort earned Neosho a coveted All-America City Award from Look magazine and the National Municipal League in 1957—and the Flower Box Promotion Committee has supported beautification ever since, awarding ‘Beauty Spot’ prizes each spring and summer to homes and businesses with outstanding yards, flower gardens, and flower boxes.
