Flower baskets blooming in downtown Bellingham
Every morning, Kenny Austin from the Downtown Bellingham Partnership heads out with a ladder and a watering can. He tends to the 44 flower baskets that line the most popular streets, such as Cornwall Avenue and Railroad Avenue, as part of the nonprofit’s mission to enhance the beauty and color of downtown Bellingham.
From May to October, flower baskets provided by the Green Frog Nursery are hung from street lights to create a more inviting environment for some of Bellingham’s busiest walkways.
“There’s a sense of safety people feel when there’s healthy plant life, it counters what people might find unsafe or unsavory downtown,” Austin said. For four years, he has been the landscaping and maintenance supervisor for the Downtown Bellingham Partnership.
