The Flower Lovers Garden Club is bringing back a favorite summer event; “Garden of the Month.”
For the months of June, July and August; a front yard garden will be selected by club members and recognized in our local papers. The featured garden will have a “Garden of the Month” sign on display that particular month.
The first selection is the lovely and creative garden found at 307 E. Jefferson St. Janet Rivers’ cottage garden is a kaleidoscope of plantings and should not be missed. Take notice of the large urn planters that stand guard at the entrance to the yard which are filled with banana leaves, sweet potato vine, and an assortment of annual petunias and creeping jenny.
Bordering the property are the ever popular and prolific “wave petunias”; not to mention the meandering ivy path that takes you up to the front door where planters of millet, gerbera daisy, sweet potato vine and bridal veil greet visitors. Her vision to start a rose garden, grow edibles and herbs are still in the planning stages; and with help of her family (hello to Erin, Lillie and Addie) she is just getting started.
The Garden of the Month is sponsored by The Flower Lovers Garden Club (existing in Crawfordsville since 1921).
