Yard of the Month
By Anonymous — Wednesday, April 15th, 2015
Theresa Robledo with Civic Pride Vision 2020 presents Yard of the Month to Ms. Joan Archer. Please drive by 644 Fernglen to view. Quoted by Ms. Archer: "Experimented over 18 years with different plants and shrubs to see what would do well in full sun versus shade, and tolerate both frost and very hot summers, with minimal care such as sufficient water weekly and fertilizer at least twice a year. I work one to four hours per week in the yard in addition to the service that California Landcare, Inc. provides. I try to stick to basic, year-round plants, and add a few seasonal flowers in pots or in small areas of the planter to have color year round. Some basic, year-round plants are: Lilies of the Nile; Lantana; Iris; Bougainvillea; Campanula-Get Mee; Indian Hawthorne; Boxwood Shrubs; Star Jasmine; and Geraniums" Thank you to Otto & Sons Nursery for their generous gift certificate to Ms. Archer. |
