The Wallace Flower Project
Flowers for the Center of the Universe!
About the Project
Hey there, flower children and cool cats! Welcome to Grow Wallace - the grooviest little flower project this side of the Milky Way!
The Wallace Flower Project, part of the Grow Wallace initiative, aims to spread good vibes and radical colors all summer. Each year we turn the streets of Wallace into a kaleidoscope of hanging baskets that blow our tourists and visitors' minds as they visit the Center of the Universe!
A Totally Hip History
Since 1990, we've been groovin' and growin', now rockin' over 225 baskets. It all started with visionary Ron Garitone and fab volunteers like Iris Cantamessa. Our tribe of Wallace flower children continues to grow each year. We've been keepin' the faith and keepin' on bloomin' for decades!
Peace, Love and Petals, Man!
Support Our Flower Power Movement
Wallace's Flower Power Revolution!

Every donation helps cover the far-out costs of growing and maintaining our mind-blowing displays. All donations are tax deductible.
