Keep Madison County Beautiful
Making our county cleaner, greener,
and more beautiful.
Our Vision
At Keep Madison County Beautiful, we believe that everyone deserves to live in a clean, green, and beautiful
environment. By conserving our resources and keeping our landscapes free of blight, we not only provide green
spaces that people and wildlife alike can enjoy but keep communities safe and encourage economic development.
Keep Madison County Beautiful is an affiliate of Keep Texas Beautiful, a statewide community improvement, litter
prevention, and beautification organization. By broadening our focus to include all of Madison County, opportunities
to assist in the community have multiplied for us. Keep Madison County Beautiful is also the parent organization of
Keep Midway Beautiful, Keep North Zulch Beautiful, and Keep Madisonville Beautiful.

We believe everybody needs to do their part to maintain clean, green, and beautiful spaces. That’s why we take
action every day to improve and beautify communities across Madison County.
The purpose of the Yard of the Month program is to promote goodwill and recognize and support Madison County residents who
demonstrate exemplary efforts in maintaining their homes, their yards, their business to enhance the overall appearance of the entire community.
The program’s judging is done by its volunteers from the Keep Madison County Beautiful Committee.
For the months of May through September, the Committee will choose up to one yard for residential property and one from the business community, per
month, that exemplify curb appeal and beauty, thereby contributing to the overall appearance of the community at large. Community members may
nominate those individuals they feel are qualified for this recognition by emailing the committee at keepmcb@gmail.com

Mushroom Festival for recyclables. This
festival, held in Madisonville, Texas each
October, is one of more than 30 events in
Texas supported by “Green Teams” whose
special aim is to help decrease litter and
to enhance recycling opportunities at
public events in the community. Coca-
Cola got us started in 2006, and Keep
Texas Beautiful continues to provide
planning assistance.

REPOTTING: After a period of time as plants are growing in their
containers they may become root bound. A few signs that the plant
may be root bound is yellow foliage, wilting shortly after being
watered or when roots start growing out of the bottom of the pot.
To repot, loosen the roots around the root ball and repot your plant
in a larger planter adding fresh soil and nutrients giving them
adequate room to grow.
