Eustis in Bloom, an affiliate chapter of the national America in Bloom organization, is beautifying the City with several projects underway.
Clifford House In the Spring of 2024, the exterior of the historic Clifford House was restored, including the beds surrounding the house. Hardy plants and native flower species were planted to provide the house with a much-needed visual facelift. In the Summer of 2024, work began on the sidewalks and areas around the house, with a fountain feature planned along with a number of new beds for additional flowers and plants.

Downtown Eustis The City held a meeting with Downtown merchants to discuss the possibility of placing planters in front of their store fronts. The business will sponsor the planters and agree to replant flowers and plants two to three times a year to keep them fresh through the various seasons.
