 Neosho,
nationally known as the Flower Box City, received a grant in 1955
to launch an experiment in city beautification, and has since concentrated
on easy-care planters in every conceivable location. Flower boxes
in front of business establishments, churches, schools and residential
homes have spread Neosho’s fame.The project is so much an accepted part of the city’s thinking that many new residence and businesses have flower boxes incorporated as part of their landscaping plans. We are now proud to be home of the World's Largest Flower Box. After acquiring a railroad gondola car, it was transformed into a flower box. It's 66 feet long, eight feet wide and 44 inches deep. The community of Neosho came together and donated their time, energy, and funds to make this a reality. The flower box is filled with flowers, shrubs, and trees and is a beautiful addition to Morse Park. To carry the city’s distinction even further, the Neosho Area Chamber of Commerce has presented hundreds of flower box arrangements over the years to new Chamber members. Currently, new Chamber members are presented with a flower box logo wall clock at their ribbon cutting ceremony as they are welcomed by fellow Chamber members. |
