Her landscaping at 313 Schuylerville Drive in the Saratoga Farms neighborhood earned her the title of July’s Yard of the Month. The lawn is well maintained with flower beds of dianthus, periwinkle and pink rose trees and a Chinese parasol tree, defined by stone boarders. 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, starting at 9:30 a.m. with a plant exchange._Visitors and new members are welcome.
