Flowers make people better, happier and more helpful; they are like sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. -  Luthar Burbank

​We're all about making Hartford smile!

Volunteers For A Beautiful Hartford believe that everyone benefits from a clean and attractive downtown and beautiful parks. 

A beautiful landscape promotes psychological health and happiness for those who encounter that space. At the same time, it enhances the perceived value of our businesses, residences and even natural settings.

Keeping Hartford Flowerful

Downtown Hartford

In 2004, the Volunteers For A Beautiful Hartford were the driving force behind getting flower baskets installed on the light poles downtown. Ever since, we've planted beautiful flowers in them and cared for them.  When winter approaches, we decorate them just in time for the Christmas Parade. 

Join us Nov 2nd

to decorate the downtown baskets for winter

Starting at 8 am across from the Police Department - near the South side River-walk.  Tools and materials are available. Come join the fun and help us get Hartford pretty for the Christmas Parade November 9th!
