Vision 2020 Civic Pride Committee has awarded the September, “Yard of the Month” award to Gilbert and Peggy Medina at 145 Lora Lane.

The selection is based on visual beauty and a well-kept appearance. The award letter states,” Your efforts to maintain an attractive, welcoming environment in the neighborhood deserve to be rewarded and encouraged…”
Gilbert, the main family gardening enthusiast, has taken the yard from bare dirt in 1962, when they purchased their home, to a yard that is ablaze with colorful annuals like zinnias, focused around a core of geraniums, columbine, coreopsis and roses. Through the years, Gilbert added brick planters and walkways and the Medina’s grandson added to the yard’s charm with his painted signs.

Otto & Sons Nursery generously donate a $25 gift certificate to each award recipient. Enjoy looking at this colorful yard and then join Civic Pride members in making October’s selection!

The Civic Pride Committee meets every third Wednesday of the month at 1:30pm in City Hall and welcomes all to attend and get involved in community improvement projects.
