Blooming planters boost city
Stirling Observer
|June 18, 2025
Vibrant flowers and blooming planters have added a welcome splash of colour across Stirling city centre.
Pollinator-friendly plants, funded and organised by Go Forth Stirling BID (Business Improvement District), can be seen brightening up the city in Station Road Square, Murray Place, Pitt Terrace, King Street, Wellgreen Road and Melville Terrace.
The number of planters has been gradually increasing each year and there are now a total of 73 across the city which are regularly maintained by Stirling Community Enterprise.
The planters and the city's ground-level flower beds are filled with plants and flowers from Stirling's Homesteads Nursery.
William Johnston, who runs Homesteads Nursery, said: “We've picked a lovely selection of colourful plants and flowers which look fantastic as they liven up Stirling for everyone.
“We're pleased to work with the BID each year to do our best to improve the look of the city centre.”
