Congratulations to Mrs. Elizabeth Brown for winning the 2018 Summer Yard of the Season award. Beautiful blooming pink zinnias s line the front of the home at 4735 Idlewood, where she and her husband have resided for nearly 50 years. But Mrs. Brown will tell you that her backyard is her haven. Hidden Gingers, Shrimp Plants, Double-bloom Daylilys, and Hydrangeas are merely a few of the diverse varieties of flora that she lovingly tends to in her cherished backyard oasis. A stately Live Oak, sprawling over 90 feet in diameter, planted by the Browns personally in 1975 provides ample shade, so Mrs. Brown can relax on her patio and enjoy viewing the fruits of her labor.

Mrs. Brown was awarded a $25 gift card courtesy of Clegg’s Nursery.
