The Hammond Garden Club has chosen the home of Mr. and Mrs. Casey Potts for the December Garden of the Month.
Located at 301 N. Linden St., the Potts home is a great example of how a yard can come to life in the winter months, club members said.
Coach Potts teaches physical education at Holy Ghost Catholic School in addition to coaching the school’s basketball team. His wife, Erin, is also a teacher at Holy Ghost School. They have two lovely daughters, Claire, age 3 1/3, and Kate, 2 years old.
The Potts’ yard is tended by all members of the family although some prefer to play while Dad and Mom do most of the work.
The yard is filled with Camellias, Lilies of the Nile, Crepe Myrtles, Azaleas and African Iris. A beautiful Japanese Magnolia blooms in the spring. The whole front yard is shaded by a beautiful oak.
