We’re excited to welcome The Partying Palm to the Leesburg in Bloom planter program!

Located at 400 W. Magnolia Street in beautiful Downtown Leesburg, The Partying Palm is a new party and gift boutique offering curated party supplies, custom balloons, unique gifts, creative workshops, and private celebrations.

Their new Leesburg in Bloom planters are already adding color and beauty to their storefront as they prepare to open their doors!

They’re not open just yet, so be sure to follow The Partying Palm on social media to stay updated on their upcoming Grand Opening and everything they’ll have to offer. We’re excited to see another new business coming to Leesburg!

And remember, Leesburg in Bloom isn’t just for Downtown Leesburg! Our planter program is available to businesses throughout the entire City of Leesburg. If your business is within the city and you’d like to be part of our community beautification efforts, we’d love to have you participate!

Thank you to The Partying Palm for joining Leesburg in Bloom and helping us continue to beautify our community one business at a time!

This morning, we had a wonderful Meet & Greet at our Leesburg in Bloom Community Garden! 🥬🥕🍅

It was great to see our gardeners from complete beginners to Master Gardeners come together to introduce themselves, share gardening tips, visit one another’s garden plots, and get to know each other a little better. That’s what makes this garden so special: everyone has something to learn, and everyone has something to share.

The Community Garden is dedicated to growing fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and other edible crops, allowing residents to grow their own food while building lasting friendships and strengthening our community.

If you’re interested in learning more about one of Leesburg in Bloom’s community initiatives, we’d love to hear from you! We’re also planning a Community Garden Build Day soon to construct additional raised garden beds so even more residents can participate.

If you’d like to learn more, reserve a future garden plot, or volunteer on our upcoming build day, send me a message. We’d love to have you join this growing community!
