May is Mental Health Awareness Month

May 16th, 2024

May is Mental Health Awareness month and we support talking about the Elephant in the room – mental health!

Walk around downtown and you’ll see several elephant planters on display, as part of 43 NorthIowa’s “Elephants On Parade” promotion.
Our planter and window design are inspired by growing awareness of mental health through words of positivity, growing from our elephant planter onto our windows! Our elephant has a 3D pattern design and shows off it’s “green thumb”.
Check out our window through the rest of this month!
