Beautification Projects

We plant and maintain multiple projects and contribute plants, garden supplies, or funds to several Irvington-based groups, including the Friends of Irving Circle Park and Ellenberger Park. Our largest undertakings—the Benton House Historic Garden, the Kile Oak Habitat Garden, and the Pleasant Run Parkway daffodil plantings—are discussed in more detail in separate pages on this site.

Also, we plant and maintain the seasonal flowers in the two concrete urns that sit on top of brick columns at the corner of Washington and Audubon Streets and the large planters at the Bona Thompson Memorial Center.

We offer grants of up to $500 for beautification projects that benefit the general public. To be eligible, the project must be located within a one-mile radius of Irvington (“Irvington” is defined as Emerson Avenue to the west, Edmondson Avenue to the east, Brookville Road to the south, and East 10th Street to the north).

We welcome help in maintaining our beautification projects. Perhaps you’d like to water a planter, deadhead plants, or plant summer annuals. Maybe pull a weed or two, donate a few dollars or help mulch a garden path. Whatever you can give, we’d be happy for your help.
