Upcycled Pollinator Planter Challenge

Creative designers and gardeners from all over the region have created unique planters - some from chairs, but all from upcycled materials. They are all filled with pollinator-friendly flowers and are yours for the bidding!

View them in person in Windsor Center from June 21 - 30, 2025

All proceeds benefit First Town Downtown programs and events including The Windsor Eco-Monarch Festival and Windsor monarch habitats around Windsor.

Thank you to our presenting sponsor Windsor Federal as well as all our event and planter sponsors!

By bidding on items in this fundraiser, you will support First Town Downtown’s mission to provide FREE, well-loved events in Windsor Center that attract residents from all over the region to our beautiful and historic town green: weekly Farmer’s Market, Concerts on the Green, Nightmare on Broad Street, the Torchlight Parade and more!

The mission of First Town Downtown is to position and promote Windsor Center as a premier New England town center that protects and utilizes its proud heritage as the basis for developing vibrant recreational, economic and cultural activity.
