The Garden of the Month award for December, 2008 88 Egret for the lovely, very inviting and very personal garden she has created to enhance her home at 88 Egret Street.
On the street side, the open gate of the rose-garlanded iron perimeter fence and the row of large, weathered pots of pink and red flowers beckon invitingly into a lovely brick courtyard, softened by the beautiful old trees and which frame the house and back porch, and accented by a large old acacia bush with masses of yellow booms. On the lane side also, the soft peach-colored house is beautifully framed by a rich design of mature greenery, lush tropical plants, and curving beds of carefully manicured bushes and flowers in shades of red, pink, white, and orange, and greens ranging from the deep, shiny green of the holly bush to the soft, feathery green of the rose vines framing the
doorway.
