January Honorable Mention


Honorable mention for January, 2009 is awarded to the elegant garden of 20 Lark Street. On the lane side, the rectangular lawn is framed by formal beds of tiers of fuschia and purple flowers, small and medium-sized azaleas and camellias blooming in shades of coral, salmon, deep rose – lovely against elegant gray façade of the house and the tall, dark green hedges on each side. Small, flowering tulip trees provide elegant accent pieces.

The street side features beds of mature bushes – including large nandinas with masses orange-red berries and coral blooming azaleas – surrounding the semi-circular parking court, and beautifully accented by the dramatic pink Angel’s trumpet tree in the east corner and by dark-green topiaries on each side of the entrance.
