50 Floral Displays Installed

In the early hours of the morning, My-MK's public realm team were working hard installing 50 colourful planters along Midsummer Boulevard, stretching from Milton Keynes Central Station to the shopping centres.

Filled with striking pink, purple and white Surfinias, the planters deliver an immediate uplift to the visual landscape of the city centre, brightening the daily experience for workers, residents and visitors alike.

This flower displays are part of the BID’s ongoing commitment to improving the City Centre environment for businesses. Designed with sustainability in mind, the planters require just one weekly top-up thanks to a self-watering system, making them a low-maintenance but high-impact investment.

Jill Farnsworth, CEO of My-MK, commented:"These floral displays don’t just bring a welcome splash of colour to the City Centre, they also play a small but important part in supporting biodiversity, encouraging pollinators like bees to the area.  We hope these planters will make the daily experience of working, visiting or doing business in Milton Keynes just that little bit better.”

Each planter will be refreshed in Autumn with hardy winter plants to maintain year-round visual interest. Looking ahead, My-MK plans to extend the floral displays in Summer 2026.
