BLUEBONNET GARDEN CLUB ANNOUNCES APRIL YARD OF THE MONTH

  

The Bluebonnet Garden Club has awarded the April Yard of the Month to Annette Thaler Turner at 605 Sycamore Street.

On either side of the front sidewalk are beautiful beds of spring blossoms including pink snapdragons, colorful red and white dianthus, and a border of white alyssum, all in full bloom.

Framing the front porch are knock-out roses loaded with buds ready for their spring and summer showing.  All shrubs are neatly trimmed and the entire front lawn is lush, thick and very well maintained.  In the backyard are two large pecan trees surrounded with liriope at the base.

There are a variety of other plants including pansies, crepe myrtles, plumbago, bridal wealth, yellow iris, and many other rose bushes.  These are particularly special to Turner as several of the rose bushes were handed down from her mother and grandmother.

Near the garage is a large Gem Magnolia surrounded by day lilies at the base.

The owner was presented a gift certificate to a local nursery.
