Keyhole Gardening
First made popular in Africa, keyhole gardens
are catching on in Texas and other hot, dry
places. Keyhole gardens hold moisture and
nutrients due to an active compost pile placed
in the center of a garden bed, and will result
in improved growing conditions in just about
any climate. From a bird’s eye view the garden
is shaped as a keyhole. A notch is cut into a
round garden bed, the notch makes for easy
access to the center compost well. This class
is the precursor to the hands-on workshop that
will be offered in 2015.

Trash Bash volunteers
Trash Bash Organizers Aim to
Make This Year’s Event Bigger
Volunteers needed to help make Irving cleaner and greener from 9 a.m. to
noon Sept. 27 during Keep Irving Beautiful’s 23rd Annual Trash Bash.
Keep Irving Beautiful (KIB) is enlisting the support
of individuals, groups and business organizations
to make this year’s Trash Bash the largest in history.
This year’s cleanup will be held at T.W. Richardson
Grove Park, 333 E. Interstate Highway 635 (LBJ), at the
Northeast corner of Valley View and I-635.
“Participation in beautification projects like the
Trash Bash has consistently trended upward, and
the Trash Bash is a great opportunity for residents,
businesses and civic organizations to display the spirit
of volunteerism that has made Irving famous,” said
KIB Administrator Rick Hose. “Our goal is to get folks
personally invested in litter abatement — after picking
up trash for a couple of hours, you get a better idea of
the damage that’s done when people carelessly litter
our parks and neighborhoods.”
In keeping with tradition, this year’s Trash Bash will be
held in conjunction with National Public Lands Day the
country’s largest single-day volunteer event for public
lands to raise awareness of environmental issues
like litter. Accordingly, Irving will be just one of many
communities across the country banding together to
make a clean and green difference.
“We have hundreds who come year after year to be
part of the cleanup, but we’re hoping for a surge in
first-time participants to push us over the 500 mark,”
said Hose. “So, for those who have never taken part in
a KIB beautification project, this is your chance to get
to know your neighbors, support a good cause and
make an impact in the community.”
Some 503 volunteers participated in last year’s Trash
Bash event, committing 1,509 hours to cleaning up the
community. This level of participation resulted in 2,680
pounds of litter and 400 pounds of recyclable material
being removed from Irving streets.
Event organizers are asking for prospective
participants to commit to participating as soon as
possible and help spread the word. To register or for
more information, visit cityofirving.org/KIB or call
(972) 721-2175. n

can participate. The cleanup celebrates a partnership
among KIB, the Parks and Recreation Department and
Solid Waste Services. KIB will provide supplies such
as litter pickers, trash and recycle bags and gloves.
Lunch will be provided after the cleanup.
City Holiday, No Trash Collection

“Irving is among a growing number of cities
and nonprofits in the Metroplex coming
together for a day of matching great pets with
wonderful families,” said Animal Services
Manager Corey Price. “Local shelters are full
of abandoned or surrendered pets and we
are sure families can find their next pet at a
shelter.”
