Mardi Gras is in Full Bloom
by Dona Calcote Hammond Garden Club January was not kind to Hammond gardeners; so many beautifully landscaped gardens were reduced to brown grass and sad drooping flower beds. Hammond Garden Club understands all too well how disappointed local gardeners were to see their hard work fall to the tricks of Jack Frost. However, when Old Man Winter puts down a heavy January freeze, dedicated gardeners pull out all the stops. Our February Garden of the Month Team was delighted with the creativity of Mari Ann Callais and Marie Arnone of East Charles Street. They were determined to bring joy and color to the neighborhood. As none of the plantings were blooming, they adorned their entryway with giant bright blooms in Mardi Gras colors, hung garlands of purple, green and gold balls on the porch, and even made sure the pups were dressed for the occasion. In short, this garden is a real treat for the eyes right now, but it is always worth a look! Beyond the seasonal decoration, it is obvious the garden has extraordinarily good bones, enhanced by the vision and hard work of Mari Ann and Marie. Plan a viewing soon and another visit in the spring. |
