March Garden of the Month Awards






The March Garden of the Month was awarded to Donna and Matt Colosino. Theirs is a new house and young garden at 1 Lark. They were thrilled as they have been working so hard on creating their interesting garden.

Le Petit Jardin is at 22 Tern and belongs to Lois and Brup Bacher. Ms Bacher was delighted
but did say that it is her daughter Leslie Kramer who keeps up the garden!

Vonni Contreary, a Garden of the Month committee member, came up with the great idea for a new occasional garden award for a "Secret Garden." This came about due to the fact that the GOM committee wishes to recognize some of the incredibly beautiful gardens that are basically inaccessible because they are behind hidden gates or fences, often because of having a pool, but nonetheless more than worthy of recognition.

Our first Secret Garden has been awarded to Alice Lowry at 22 Tern. The moment the committee opened the huge white gate on Tern they knew the Garden Club must somehow create an award for this incredibly beautiful but at the same time very secret garden. Congratulations, Alice!
