Ramblewood Garden Club awards May Yard of the Month (5/11/24)Nancy BahnRamblewood Garden Club has awarded the May Yard of the Month to Chris and Laurel Adkisson who live at 2129 Yorktown. In a neighborhood with well-landscaped yards, this yard stood out for the lush carpeted front and back lawns and the variety of colorful perennials for a neat and thoughtful landscape. Chris stated that the lawn was Dr. Paul Schnare’s Special mix of lawn seed, which includes the wide-bladed St. Augustine variety. When the Adkissons moved to the house there was no grass and it took a year and a half for the grass to grow into this dark green lawn. Tru-Green Lawn Care helps with that job now.
