July Yard of the Month – 619 East 8th

Zandra and Larry were drawn to this home for its large and graceful side yard. It is a traditional garden with lush green lawns surrounded by neat hedges and mounded grass. It is shaped by rounded brick walkways and accented with large pots and sculptures. 

 

The yard is shaded by mature Oak trees and clusters of Crape Myrtles. Under the partial shade Zandra grows ferns, Fire Spikes, Caladiums and over one hundred Bromeliads. The star of the show right now is her Queen Lily ginger, a Ginger plant with gorgeous pink blooms that have been loving our recent rains.

 

We want to thank Joshua’s Native Plants & Garden Antiques for the nice gift gift card awarded to Zandra & Larry for the July Yard of the Month.
