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 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.

​

Since our first project in 1999, the cost of many of our endeavors has been funded by Keep Indianapolis Beautiful Inc. (KIBI) to whom we are eternally indebted for their confidence in us and willingness to endorse our visions. Beginning in 2000, we started planting trees in Irvington. To date, after having been aided by scores of volunteers, we have planted over 850 trees in the neighborhood.

​

We have also built a community gateway at the corner of Washington and Audubon Streets where two concrete urns sit on top of brick columns planted in seasonal flowers.

​We welcome help in maintaining our beautification projects. Perhaps, you'd like to water a planter, deadhead daffodil, iris or daylily plants or plant summer annuals. Maybe pull a weed or two, donate a few dollars or help mulch a garden path. Whatever, we'd be happy for your help. If so, please email us at igc46219@gmail.com.
