The Junius Heights Historic District Yard of the Month for August goes to Brittney Schram at 730 N Glasgow.

Brittney moved into her lovely home just last fall. It was built in 1924 and already beautifully landscaped. However, after the big freeze in February the landscaping was devastated and Brittney had to start over from scratch. No small task for a first-time homeowner! She decided to do it herself and went with an unstructured, informal English cottage style with mostly white blooms (petunias, star jasmine, angelonias) and subtle pops of purples and pinks (hydrangeas, lavender, foxglove, salvia). Brittney lined the alley side of the yard with oakleaf hydrangeas, which will eventually provide a natural privacy hedge with giant white blooms and burnt red foliage in the fall.

Well done, Brittney! And welcome to the neighborhood!

July’s Junius Heights Historic District Yard of the Month goes to Lee and Jessica Horn at 729 Ridgeway.

Lee and Jessica moved into their lovely brick Tudor house, built in 1924, in August of 2016. They updated the landscape at that time. Walton’s Garden Center designed the new landscape and the Horns have maintained it beautifully, making minor adjustments from season to season. Most recently they added a wildflower section along the alley.

Lee says, “It’s been a trial and error with a few plants, though our goal has been to add color to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. It’s Jessica’s happiest day to see the flowers bloom!”

Congratulations to Lee and Jessica on receiving our July Yard of the Month award. Thank you both for all the years you have dedicated to maintaining the beauty of our wonderful neighborhood.
