The Hammond Garden Club has awarded the July Garden of the Month to Frank and Cindy Goelz of 305 W. Charles St.
They moved to the Hammond area after Katrina and bought a home on the outskirts of Hammond. Their dream was to eventually move to the downtown area, find an older home and renovate it. They found the perfect home and after several years finally finished and then started on the outside.
Garden club member Pat Graves said, “Once Cindy retired she was able to focus on the yard and her efforts really show with well-maintained flowerbeds as well as pots of flowers leading up the steps.”
Of note are her year round as well as annual plantings. In the garden are gardenias, japanese yew, hostas, loropetalum, cryptomeria giobosa, lemon coral sedum, carex grass and Holly.
Around the front fence are boxwoods, blue point juniper, jasmine and Peggy Martin roses. On the porch are cuban gold duranta, portulaca, eugenia topiary, diamond frost euphoria, leather leaf fern, wandering jew, poka dot plant, coleus and sunflowers followed by gerber daisies and geraniums down the steps.
