Maintenance staff from East Devon District Council have created a floral display in the colours of the Ukrainian flag in Exmouth's Manor Gardens.
The project was led by StreetScene Operations Manager Tom Wood and the flowers planted by Adam James, Pete Hooker, Simon Clarke and Russell Giblett.
The display features a variety of annuals, including sunflowers. The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine.
Councillor Geoff Jung, EDDC's portfolio holder for coast, country and environment, said: "I would like to congratulate our StreetScene staff on their wonderful concept of a 'Ukraine support' flowerbed.
"It was totally the staff's idea and I as portfolio holder was totally supportive."
A sign in front of the display has a scannable QR code which will direct users to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal website to donate money if they wish.
