Fillmore Civic Pride Committee is pleased to award the Holiday “Yard of the Month” to Roy, Raquel, and Irma Hernandez at 969 5th Street.

The Hernandez family has lived in their home since 2009 and they enjoy being in an area where lots of people pass by, walking their dogs or going to the park. They take great pride in their yard and want people to enjoy it. They like hearing people commenting on their beautiful flowers. Irma said they especially love roses and had been saying they needed to get more for the yard.

Both Roy & Raquel are retired, so they do all the gardening, but Irma, having been trained in design at Brooks College, likes coming up with the design & even climbs on the ladder to get it put up.

The Hernandez family were very happy to receive the $50 award provided by Otto & Sons Nursery. They are certain to be amazed when they see the fantastic selection of roses &other plants available, as well as the new demonstration gardens to walk around. Otto & Sons Nursery has generously been supporting our “Yard of the Month” awards since they began in 2003.

This year there were so many neighborhoods lit up with beautiful displays. We try to spread the awards around the community. Please take your family out for sightseeing and be sure to check out former winners on Sespe St, Robin Court and Edgewood in the Bridges. Other noteworthy streets would be C St., Parkhaven, Mockingbird and Meadowlark, Mountain View, Lora Lane, Saratoga, Foothill and Shady Lane in the Traditions neighborhood.

Civic Pride Committee invites all who are interested in beautifying our community, to our next meeting, January 19, 2022, at 1:30pm in the City Hall conference room.
