July 2010

The Lawrenceville Garden Club members have chosen Maxalee Black of 2403 Summitt Ave. as the recipient of the Garden of the Month for July 2010. Black's yard has a lot of curb appeal. It features raised beds with stone borders on both sides of the driveway; potted plants on the porch and a collection of birdhouses. The foundation plantings are edged with brick and contain topiary style evergreens. The backyard is a real delight with a paved patio and a pergola. Colorful plants are everywhere. Black does most of the maintenance herself and even set the pavers for the patio. Her garden was nominated by her neighbor, Tracy Hoke, Vice President of Lawrenceville Garden Club. On hand for the presentation were (left to right): Jean Leo, Ginny Dieckgrafe, Ellen Brown, City Beautification Chairman, Maxalee Black, Ann Umfleet, Tracy Hoke and Lawrenceville Mayor, Brian Straub.
