The below programs were implemented as a a way to beautify the City of Gardner. Sponsorships were created as a way for businesses, non-profits and organizations to advertise. 

Flowerpot Sponsorship

There will be 250 total flowerpots placed in Downtown and South Gardner. 

The flowerpots will be planted and maintained by a local landscaper. 

If you are a Gardner business, non-profit, or organization and you would like to sponsor one or more flowerpots please fill out the form. 

Each sponsored flowerpot will have a sign stating that it is sponsored by (your business name). Logos can be included on these signs in place of the business name if desired. 

Cost per flowerpot is $200 for the season (May to November weather permitting). 

If you have any questions, or to email the completed form, please contact Jessica DeRoy, Economic Development Coordinator, at jderoy@gardner-ma.gov.

Flower Box Sponsorship

There are several flower boxes in downtown Gardner that can be sponsored by maintaining your own flower box. Cost of sponsorship is the cost of plants and your time maintaining the box.

If you have any questions or would like to sponsor a flower box, please contact Jessica DeRoy, Economic Development Coordinator, at jderoy@gardner-ma.gov.

Island Maintenance Sponsorship 

There are twenty traffic islands throughout the city that can be sponsored. These islands are all situated on main, highly traveled roads ideal for advertising your business, non-profit or organization. 

This program requires the sponsor to plant and maintain the plants/flowers. The cost associated with this program is the cost of the plants/flowers and your time spent maintaining the island(s). 

Sponsorship begins in April each year and ends once snow falls - typically November. Each year sponsors sign an agreement to maintain the island for this time period. 

If you have any questions or would like to sponsor an island, please contact Jessica DeRoy, Economic Development Coordinator, at jderoy@gardner-ma.gov.
