As we settle back into our routines post-4th of July celebrations, it’s the perfect time to refocus on the beautification of our community. The Incline Village Crystal Bay Association (IVCBA) has been hard at work, partnering with local businesses and organizations to enhance the aesthetic appeal of our village.
Recently, IVCBA collaborated with Chris Talbot, of Talbot Fine Art Galery to beautify the island at the front of the Mountain Workspace parking lot on Tahoe Boulevard. Together, we planted new flowers, weeded, added some pottery, and laid down plenty of wood chips. For the Independence Day festivities, we adorned the area with lots of American flags, adding a patriotic touch to our efforts.
The Rotary Club has also made significant contributions by painting our two bus shelters, which look fantastic. These efforts are just a part of the broader beautification initiative that includes various projects around the community.
Betsy from IVGID Parks and Recreation has been busy as well. A few weeks ago, she was spotted beautifying the garden just outside the North Tahoe Nevada Welcome Center. Her dedication is a testament to the collaborative spirit that drives our beautification projects.
Throughout the village, you may have noticed beautiful planters, including innovative hanging planters with built-in watering wicks. These planters are designed to reduce the frequency of watering, making them both practical and attractive. If you’re interested in these planters, our local plant experts can provide more information, and you can also find options online or at big box home improvement stores. Let’s continue to support these beautification efforts and promote the businesses involved in making our community a more beautiful place to live.
