August yard of the month

The Madill Rose Garden Club’s August Yard of the Month is at the home of Samantha Jalili. She lives at 614DunnDrive,atthecorner of City Lake Road.

The east-facing house allows the flower bed some cooler shade in the hot August afternoons. A lovely banana tree graces the entrance along with knock-out roses. In the front is a tall, sculptured holly with a pot of elephant ears down below.

Hydrangeas and pink hibiscus flank either side with moreroses. Shealsohassome focus items in her garden such as a colorful peacock, two cat figurines, a bird bath and a Buddha statue under the leaves in the shade. This yard has a kind, inviting feel like an oasis in the desert.
