Hammond Garden Club’s outstanding selection for Garden of the Month in November belongs to Robert and Cub Lanaux.
Their attractive curb appeal is a combination of pink and white drift roses, with pops of blue salvia interspersed throughout, in a flower bed anchoring their circular drive.
Cub delighted in sharing the story of an old, worn baseball that landed and has made its home in the bed for almost 20 years. Their home is located about 100 yards away from Southeastern Louisiana University’s baseball field.
In front of their inviting Southern-style Acadian porch is a mixture of shishi gashira camellias, encore azaleas and drift roses. Colorful potted lantana are placed on the bricks leading up to the front porch. Flanking the main entrance are stately urns of macho ferns.
The Lanaux’s side flower bed features a fountain with a statue of a boy playing a flute, which was selected as a tribute in memory of one of Cub’s sisters. Surrounding the base of the fountain are daylilies, creeping Jenny, sedum golden moss, gaura, pittosporum and clay pots of purslane artfully tucked in.
A few of the numerous other plants which Cub lovingly nurtured during Hammond’s unusually scorching summer weather are asparagus ferns, a large holly tree, junipers and gardenias.
This is a garden that receives a lot of nurturing, time and devotion and will be lovely year round. Having been awarded Hammond Garden Club’s Garden of the Month almost 10 years ago is a testament of Cub’s passion and joy of tending to her garden.
