The Hammond Garden Club's Garden of the Month award for May goes to Mr. and Mrs. Sal Durante of 601 N. General Patton, Hammond.
Although the yard is just beginning to bloom into its full glory, one only has to drive down the street to be overwhelmed by the color and design that currently exists.
This amazing home is tucked away on a side street near Southeastern Louisiana University but is worth a sidestep off the main thoroughfare to enjoy a truly beautiful yard.
The yard is bursting with color from drift roses planted in large clusters. Althea, Japanese Magnolia and Indian Hawthorn’s are planted and waiting to burst into color. The yard is manicured with evergreen topiaries that create a very unusual touch and interesting to view.The walkway is lined with manicured Chinese Holly that complement the topiaries throughout. The front yard is planted with zoysia grass and feels like walking on carpet.
Mr. Durante is co-owner of Wise Guys Daiquiris in Hammond and Amite. Although juggling working at two business locations requires a lot of time, he said he loves gardening and working in his yard.
