Give to the Magnolia Village Beautification Forever Fund

Phases IV & V Construction Begins in July
Adopt-a-flower basket and keep Magnolia Village blooming!

Nothing like the power of pretty petals in Magnolia Village to make one know it is summer in Seattle. Show your love of Magnolia Village by adopting one of the 43 beautiful flower baskets that line W. McGraw Street. Many flower baskets and other maintenance activities need your support to keep Magnolia Village looking beautiful forever.

Each flowering basket is worth $576. You can either adopt an entire basket or donate to offset the cost of a basket and other maintenance activities.

We still need to raise $36,000 to pay for all of the maintenance activities for 2023.

Your gift today helps to purchase annual flower plants, hanging baskets, installation, watering, fertilizing, and removal. It also supports cleaning table umbrellas and periodic tree trimming.

Now is the time to join neighbors who have already adopted a flower basket or assisted with supporting 2023 maintenance costs. Thank you to the following donors:
