Help Where It Matters Most to You
Corstorphine in Bloom offers local people, businesses, and organisations the chance to sponsor or adopt planters in specific shopping areas and parks.
By choosing a location that matters to you — where you live, work, shop, or walk — you help us:
- Keep planting healthy and attractive
- Spread responsibility fairly
- Build pride in local places
- Make improvements visible and lasting
You can support one planter or several, either as a sponsor, a micro-volunteer, or both.

What Does Sponsoring or Adopting a Planter Mean?
You can choose how involved you want to be:
🌱 Adopt a Planter
- Light-touch care (watering, weeding, reporting issues)
- Flexible, informal commitment
- Ideal for residents and micro-volunteers
🌼 Sponsor a Planter
- Financial support for planting and maintenance
- Optional recognition (where appropriate)
- Ideal for businesses, organisations, or families
You can do either or both.
