Bluebonnet Garden Club is pleased to announce the residence of Corina & Mark Smith at 404 Magnolia Street as its October Yard of the Month.

The Smiths’ beautifully designed landscape is framed by two stunning magnolias and is bursting with color and texture.

The front border includes feathery grasses, vincas, large sage bushes, blue salvias, and various blooming plants.

The front is completed by a very welcoming porch with a gorgeous potted plant that includes a tall palm and various small tropical plants.

As you walk to the backyard, they have a variety of color, texture, and fragrances to lead you to a beautiful oasis. The brick wall is lined with a stunning variety of climbing plants, potted plants in colorful pots, potato vine trailing over the edges, and a cozy bench to rest after a day of working in the yard.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to our August Yard of the Month!

The Bluebonnet Garden Club has selected the residence of Shannon and Lance Altman at 107 W Bryan Street as its August Yard of the Month.

The Altmans' thoughtfully designed landscape showcases a vibrant array of colorful blooms and variegated foliage, creating an inviting display for the neighborhood.

Their dedication to maintaining and enhancing their landscape has resulted in a beautiful, pollinator-friendly garden that provides enjoyment for both residents and the many butterflies it attracts.

The front landscape features colorful lantana, begonias, and vincas, which serve as a
welcoming haven for butterflies of all sizes. Well-manicured shrubs and variegated Aztec grass
frame the home, adding year-round interest and exceptional curb appeal.

During the selection visit, Bluebonnet Garden Club members enjoyed visiting with Shannon Altman, who shared her enthusiasm for gardening and discussed plans for future landscape improvements.

In recognition of their outstanding efforts, Shannon and Lance Altman were presented with a gift card from Plants N Things by members of the Bluebonnet Garden Club.

The Bluebonnet Garden Club extends its appreciation to the Altmans for their commitment to creating a beautiful, pollinator-friendly landscape that enhances our community.
