At a community meeting of the Garland Bend Homeowners Association, citizens decided to work on the Welcome to Garland Bend sign at the entrance of the community on State Route 804 (Garland Road). The association got a good response recruiting volunteers and got to work. The plan included replacing rotting railroad ties with a stacked paver stone wall, thinning existing perennial plants and adding some annual flowers. The project took two days working five hours each day to complete. Ten area residents volunteered to help. Garland Bend is a long established area with many homeowners that take pride in where they live. Volunteers pick up trash along area roads weekly. Two times a year we are furnished with a dumpster by Pride for a clean up of Garland Bend.
“The Welcome sign is at the entrance of the community and benefits everyone that enters the community. There is a boat ramp and a dock here and it draws visitors to the community."
“It took two days and five hours each day to complete the project. Our goal was to replace the rotting railroad ties with a paver stone wall and spruce up the planting area and to show that we take pride in beautifying Garland Bend, Burnside Kentucky.”
