Yard of the month returns

Green-thumbed Sirley Marquez received the Elgin Garden Club’s Yard of the Month award for April this past week. The well-kept yard at 205 E. 11th Street features a pallet of dianthus and iris, with a white rock design spotlighting the centered tree. The local gardeners meet on the first Tuesday of every month at the Grace Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall, 11th Street and U.S. Highway 290._Visitors and new members are welcome.
