Sandra and John Tyndall at 5006 Summerset are the winners of the Yard of the Month for May.
John gives Sandra the credit for the yard and says that it is all her hard work. Sandra tells us that she prefers plants other than native. Living on the greenbelt, the native plants there attract the deer and other critters, so she steers away from them in her yard! Her yard has been a lot of trial and error.
One can’t help but admire the beautiful crape myrtle trees that line the parkway along the curb. They are so beautiful and create so much shade and color! Sandra said that when she moved in to the house in 1992, they were just little bushes! She recommends trimming the saplings so the trees grow straight up instead of bushy.
We also loved the stunning butterfly bench that adorns her front yard! Sandra loves butterflies, thus the bench was a gift to her from her children.
