Plant-A-Flower in the Village Day

Our 1st Annual Plant-A-Flower in the Village Day was a wonderful success. Fourteen "Flower Ambassadors" spread through the Village planting over 100 flowering plants on Roosevelt Street, State Street, Grand Avenue and Carlsbad Village Drive.

The businesses where the flowers were planted were presented with a watering can to ensure that they would maintain the newly planted flowers.

The Carlsbad Village Association plans to have many more beautification projects in the Village throughout the year.
