San Anselmo’s hanging flower baskets
All along San Anselmo Avenue near Town Hall, they are visible flourishing in lush hanging flower baskets: the vibrant reds, purples and oranges of petunias, geraniums, ivy, fuchsias and marigolds.
“The biggest hurdle is the watering,” says volunteer curator Nancy Altman, who found painter/muralist Ed Healy for that job. He waters daily from a cart-mounted 20-gallon watering tank with an electric pump and hook. The project relies on donations.

Hi there Wolf Schneider ! Do I qualify for some Best of Marin decals that I could put on my water cart ? 2024 will be my 5th season watering the baskets and I get compliments and kudos every day, it really is a joy! Cheers,Ed Healy
