Titusville will host March Mulch Madness this month, an annual event that brings together local gardeners, landscapers, and residents. The event, typically held at the Titusville Public Works facility on the city’s east side, offers discounted mulch and compost to homeowners and businesses. Last year’s event sold over 200 cubic yards of mulch in a single day, according to city officials.
The exact dates for this year’s event have not been announced yet, but organizers say it will follow the same format as previous years. Participants can purchase mulch in bulk at reduced prices, with proceeds benefiting the city’s parks and green spaces. Local nurseries and landscaping companies often set up booths to offer additional services and discounts.
City officials emphasize that the event is a way to encourage residents to maintain their yards while supporting community projects. "It’s a win-win for everyone," said Titusville Mayor Jeff Hargrove. "We get rid of excess mulch, and residents save money on landscaping." The event has grown in popularity since its inception in 2018, with attendance increasing by 30% each year.
Residents interested in attending are advised to check the city’s website or social media pages for updates. The event typically runs for two days, with early morning hours reserved for senior citizens and military members. No tickets are required, but supplies are limited and sell out quickly. Last year, over 200 vehicles attended the event on the first day alone.
