Indy Animal Care & Control Gets Facelift From Rotary
The property at Indianapolis Animal Care and Control is much prettier now! This high-traffic area suffered from neglect due to maintenance cutbacks and it is an “emotional” place – some people are despondent about surrendering their pet or their inability to find their lost companion.
With funding from Rotary’s Environment and Beautification Comm., Master Gardener Assn., Keep Indpls. Beautiful, and Friends of IACC, Marie Koenig and MG Assn. and F.I.D.O. volunteers planted and mulched areas for 52 shrubs and two trees. In alignment with the “animal” theme, these include two DOGwoods, 3 red twig DOGwood shrubs, 3 CATmint plants, and 9 NineBARK shrubs! Additionally, 6 large resin planters grace the entrance with purple fountain grass surrounded by purple and red wave petunias, ageratum, lobelia, coleus, and yellow super bells, all of which complement the main building’s purple flashing.
Koenig’s KIB Neighborwoods grant was approved for 30 trees to be planted along the driveway at IACC this Sept. 18!
