The combined tal ents o f horticulture savvy and carpentry skills have led Heppner Garden Club to designate July’s Yard of the Month to Rod and Janet W ilson. This couple has worked over the last nine years to achieve an inviting atmosphere that whispers, "Come sit a while. You'll like it here.” Focal points start w ith an eclectic arrangement o f plants, shrubs, benches and yard art to the right of the front entrance. The side lawn is enclosed with a grape arbor, w hich prov ides shady outdoor dining for family and friends. Beyond are two more gated entranc es located directly behind the back o f the house. One leads to the vegetable gar den, the other to the "doggie garden.” Yes, the Wilson’s family pets have their own th o u g h tfu lly landscaped area in which to romp and play. The space they enjoy includes a variety o f red, w hite, and blue arrange ments, interspersed with the fragrance o f fresh mint. The dilemma o f what to do with a sloping south boundary was resolved by the addition o f a cascading waterfall and pond. Located across from the front pagoda gate entrance, it was some thing Janet envisioned from the start. Rod’s skill turned the vision into reality. To gether they have surrounded it with an assortm ent o f plants, Janet’s favorite being the day lilies because they keep blooming. Rod is an indepen dent contractor, Janet works for the school system, as well as for Green Feed and Seed, where she is such a help to customers searching for the right plants for their gardens. Even though both arc very busy with jobs and commitments to family and community, they find time to maintain and enjoy this outdoor extension o f their home and heart.
