SUMMARY:June 13th Garden Tour 2026 -347 West 27th St. 
DESCRIPTION:June 13th Garden Tour 2026  10-11am \nPaula and Ellen – 347 West 27th St.  \n  \nThis charming traditional Heights Bungalow sits gracefully on a rare triple lot\, offering an expansive canvas of green space that immediately captured the hearts of Ellen and Paula Parker-Krantz. From the moment they laid eyes on this home\, they saw beyond its classic façade to the incredible potential it held — not just as a living space\, but as a personal sanctuary where gardening and outdoor enjoyment could flourish.\n\nWhen they purchased the home in 2022\, it was adorned with a few gorgeous\, mature trees\, three one hundred-year-old pecans\, a dogwood\, a maple and magnolia. A minimal sprinkling of azaleas\, provided a natural frame for the home without overwhelming it. This subtle landscaping was perfect\, leaving the structure and space open to Ellen and Paula’s vision. They dreamed of crafting inviting garden areas and intimate outdoor retreats\, both front and back\, that would complement the bungalow’s traditional charm while reflecting their personal style.\n\nThe yard has come to life over time and they have made some changes along the way. In front of the iron fence\, they have planted mostly Texas Natives including salvias in pinks and blues\, various lilies in yellows and reds\, agapanthus\, lantana\, pentas\, copper canyon daisies\, spotted iron plants and phlox. In the front beds\, they added azaleas\, variegated ginger\, ligularia\, pink\, lavender and white pentas\, agapanthus\, pink and white caladiums\, night blooming jasmine\, hostas\, and loropetalum.\n\nIn May of 2024\, sadly\, the derecho took down the largest of the three pecan trees. Where the pecan tree once stood is now a new garden with dwarf wax myrtles\, Texas natives and grasses. \n  \nWe want to thank Joshua’s Native Plants & Garden Antiques for the nice gift card awarded to Paula and Ellen for our June garden tour.  713.862.7444  www.joshuasnativeplants.net  502 W. 18th St \n

SUMMARY:May Heights Garden Tour - 4507 Apollo
DESCRIPTION:“Nature Lover’s Delight” \nBackyard of Bob and Cindy Wolfram \n4507 Apollo \nOur May 9th Garden Tour \n10-11am \n  \nThe Wolfram yard has transitioned since our move to the neighborhood in 1998.  We began with soil work with the goal to reduce the clay in our yard.  With routine mulching and maintaining the beds\, the beds are now in great shape\, and we use Leaf Mold Compost to maintain.  In the earlier days\, the beds changed including developing the kidney bed in the front yard and expanding the other beds in this area as well.  The backyard was transitioned to add a water feature\, and the main bed is approximately 20 feet deep\, supporting an Italian Fig\, two apple trees along with the blackberries that were planted to show the children in the neighborhood how berries grew and they did not just arrive in a package at the store. \n  \nAfter Hurricane Ike destroyed Bob and Cindy’s yard and plants\, we decided to rethink our yard and researched how to certify the yard as a Natural Wildlife Habitat. After years of intentional plant selection to ensure the yard provided shelter\, food\, and water\, our goal was achieved and is ongoing with changes as opportunity arises. \n  \nThe efforts continue to reduce the grass space and work to provide additional plants that support the butterflies\, bees\, and hummingbirds along with the Blue Jays that love the peanuts provided.  During the different seasons\, the seed selection changes to support the migration of the birds in the area. \n  \nA list of the plants is provided for your information as you visit the yard.  Look forward to hosting the Heights Garden Club. \n  \nWe want to thank New Roots Landscaping Nursery & Antiques for the gift card awarded to our May garden tour recipients.  New Roots is located 5117 N. Main St.  713-485-4791  www.newrootslandscapinghouston.com \n
