Beautifying the Community - Marigolds and Baskets.

For several years Providence Farm has grown the City's marigolds that line the highway through Duncan. Since 2005 we've contracted the City's hanging baskets as well. We enlisted volunteers from many local and regional groups to work alongside our participants to make the project a truly inclusive experience - for the community, by the community!

These are the groups that take part in the making of the City's hanging baskets. A heartfelt thanks to every single person who participates. The baskets look gorgeous!
