Fortunately, the event will remain a Lynnfield institution - but with a new name. Below is an announcement from Townscape, a Lynnfield-based organization dedicated to preserving and planting trees in town, about this event's future. As always, you can order some geraniums this spring to help Townscape fund its mission of keeping Lynnfield beautiful. Check out this photo gallery from the 2012 Geraniumfest.

Geraniumfest on Saturday, Cystic Fibrosis Walk on Sunday. Tonight, a reception for the artists in the Lynnfield Art Guild show.
There’s a handful of different activities taking place in Lynnfield this weekend.

The following information was provided by Jim Vath: The 2012 Townscape Geranium Fest on May 19 to include a rain barrel sale. Townscape of Lynnfield is partnering with SkyJuice New England to offer Rain Barrels to local residents for $75 a substantial discount from the normal price of $125. A rain barrel can be used to water from the roof when it rains and stores it for use during dry weather to water houseplants or outside plantings. Collecting water in a rain barrel is an excellent way to save some of the runoff and take the pressure off our water supply. By using the rainwater on your gardens you are helping to replenish your groundwater and benefit our water supply. A one-inch rainfall on a 1,000 square foot roof yields 562 gallons …

Volunteers badly needed to help sustain Geraniumfest, which marks its 25th anniversary this year. Want to get involved? Townscape has a meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at the Lynnfield Animal Hospital.
Lynnfield is in danger of losing one of its largest and most longstanding public events unless some volunteers emerge to help run Geraniumfest, warned Townscape President Frances Fleming Monday night at the selectmen's meeting. The popular Geraniumfest event takes place each May on the Lynnfield Common and its main mission is to sell geraniums in order to help fund the purchase of trees for use in town beautification efforts. In its 25-year history, Townscape has planted about 800 trees in Lynnfield, many of which can be recognized by ribbons around them. Geraniumfest also tends to draw a number of craft vendors and local organizations, and other annual features include the Friends of the Lynnfield Library book sale and trolley rides. …
