Harrogate Civic Society is turning the clock back to Victorian times in a bid to enhance the town's international floral reputation.
It plans to provide floral urns at points in the town centre.
Members of the society have led the way by digging into their pockets to provide some of the first flower pots.
The scheme will be launched next Tuesday, by Mayor of Harrogate, Councillor Bob Nash, when urns will be installed at the entrance to the Valley Gardens, Crescent Gardens and outside the Crown Hotel. Other sites are being selected throughout the town.
Society secretary Howard Hughes said the urns had been part of Harrogate's heritage in Victorian times and they wanted to recreate them.
Harrogate has won a reputation for its flowers with a string of national and international awards. Now society members are keen to enhance the image.
The society is appealing for people wishing to provide memorial urns to contact them on (01423) 562820.
