Garden Tour/Chat 636 East 12th St.

Wildflowers! April is peak season for many wildflowers. Brenda's easement is full of flowering wildflowers buzzing with bees and butterflies. Have you been thinking of adding native wildflowers to your garden? Find out how easy they are, but also how to make them look presentable most of the year. The rest of the garden is available to tour including a backyard shade garden under a very old and impressive live oak. She continues to find more opportunities to incorporate native plants in the landscape for extreme weather resiliency.

Come for the tour; stay for the chat which will begin at 6:45. We will discuss growing wildflowers and any other gardening topic of your choosing. Some seating is available for the chat, but please bring your own chair if you can.


March Yard of the Month

1139 Waverly
Longtime residents Tracye and David have spent more than 35 years shaping their garden at 1139 Waverly. In the front yard, they've built a wonderful mix of succulents and cactus, all tucked under the shade of a Water Oak they planted together 20 years ago. Tracye's sculptures are placed throughout, giving the space her personal touch.

In the side yard, David makes the most of the full sun. He grows a little bit of everything-tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, kale, chard, collards, okra, eggplant, green beans, tangerines, and lemons. It's the kind of garden that feels lived in, loved, and evolving.


The garden club would like to thank Buchanan's Native Plants for the gift certificate presented to our Yard of the Month recipient. Buchanan's is located at 611 E. 11th St. here in the Heights.
