IPLCA Day of Service at Danville National Cemetery
On Saturday, April 21, the Illinois Professional Lawn Care Association sponsored a lawn and landscape renewal project at the Danville National Cemetery in Danville, IL. Ten representatives from seven Illlinois Green Industry companies participated in the project along with Misty Henson, Cemetery Caretaker Supervisor. The project was in conjunction with the Professional Landcare Network's Annual Day of Service event, which focuses on giving back to communities by improving our green spaces.
The scope of the project included; core aerating and overseeding the center section of the cemetery grounds, removal of overgrown plant material, seeding former planting beds and adding new landscape bed and plant meterial near the Committal Shelter. The Committal Shelter is the location where funeral services for the veteran's who will be interred at the cemetery are held.
The Green Industry companies that participated in the event were:
Berry's Garden Center - Danville, IL
Spring-Green lawn Care Corp- Plainfield IL
Spring-Green lawn Care - Decatur IL
Emerald Green Lawn Care - Arlington Heights, IL
Turfco Manufacturing, Inc.

Several Green Industry suppliers dontaed materials for the project:

The IPLCA was very pleased to be able to complete this project and help to beautify the grounds at the Danville National Cemetery. Helping to honor our veterans and providing a beautiful setting for their final resting place was a humbling experience. We thank all those who participated in the project and to those who provided materials and equipment.
