Together We Make Pittsfield Beautiful
Our goal is to create a welcoming presence in public sites throughout Pittsfield, Massachusetts with colorful plantings of flowers and ornamental shrubs.
Founded in 1989 by Arlia “Tommie” Bailey, Pittsfield Beautiful Inc is a non-profit organization supported entirely by donations and volunteers.
Our volunteers maintain 16 perennial public gardens and 110 containers filled with eye-catching arrangements in the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods.
We work closely with the City of Pittsfield to encourage beautification efforts that arise from partnerships between local residents, neighborhoods, community support groups, businesses, and the City.

OUR PLANTING EVENTS THIS SPRING HAVE BEEN A RESOUNDING SUCCESS. OVER 100 CONTAINERS, AS WELL AS THE FLOWERS AROUND THE PARK SQUARE FOUNTAIN, THE FRONT GARDEN OF THE COLONIAL THEATRE, AND CONTAINERS AT CITY HALL WERE PLANTED WITH BEAUTIFUL ANNUALS. AND OUR PERENNIAL GARDENS AROUND THE CITY CONTINUE TO FLOURISH. A HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO THE MANY VOLUNTEERS WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE!
