On May 24th, 2012, KeyBank employees donated their time in service to Village beautification as part of the bank's annual "Neighbors Make A Difference" day of service. The Broad Ripple Alliance for Progress purchased hostas from Broad Ripple Farmer's Market Vendor Blue Moon Farms. Owner Kate Jones not only gave BRAP a great deal, she also donated some plants, too. Other plant donors included Linda Shikany of Marigold and Broad Ripple supporter MaryJo DeMeyer. The City of Indianapolis Department of Public Works donated mulch and IFD Station 32 Captain Gregg Harris prepared the planting beds by roto-tilling.
