Irvington's Grand Community Bat House

Check out the new digs! We've installed one of the largest bat houses around, and couldn't be prouder. This project was completed with the key contributions of: the Taylors (two generations), the Walters, the Lunsford, Irvington's Good to Grow, and the Irvington Community Council. Also, thanks to Ellenberger Park, Friends of Ellenberger Park, and Indy Custom Stone.

It is our hope that this bat house promotes a healthy bat population on the east side, providing many benefits to our community for years to come.

Compost Pickup Complete

Big News! Good to Grow has sold their compost pickup division to Earth Mama Compost. Moving forward, Earth Mama will be conducting the biweekly pickup in Irvington. This is a good thing! Earth Mama has a big vision for composting in Indianapolis, and our full endorsement. Check out the Earth Mama website at EarthMamaCompost.com.

Moving forward, Good to Grow will remain a community resource, consulting/managing community projects, and providing high-quality products relating to rain collection, chicken keeping, and home sustainability. Keep an eye out for Irvington's Grand Community Bat House, coming this Summer. Please reach out with any questions, or interesting challenges!
