Join the Heights Garden Club for our June Garden Tour: The Eskelson’s Garden at 636 E. 12th

The cottage garden with flowers the size of dinner plates and sidewalk vegetable garden featured on this double lot have engaged neighbors and passersby for many years, but the private backyard oasis is by invitation only!

Several years ago the owner reclaimed her now grown children’s playground to create one for herself. She has been experimenting to find plants which will bloom in the many different types of shade created by a two-century old live oak which is on the Harris County tree registry of exceptional trees. It’s been almost four years since we last toured this garden, so it’s time to see what changes have been made.

More recently a large part of the easement has been devoted to wildflowers. Come tour this unforgettable neighborhood garden!
