The Doug and Carley Drake home. By Kay Proctor a 200’ flowerbed made o f D oug and C arley Drake, Heppner, have been recognized by the Heppner Garden Club for the Featured Garden of July. Since moving into their charming 1903 farm house on Sandhollow Road as a young married couple in 1976, the Drakes have updated both house and yard. A ged outbuildings and old locust trees were removed; more flowerbeds and landscaping were add ed. The family clothesline and cement-lined root cel lar remain in the backyard w hile the original w ater reservoir sits on a high spot in the front. R ay an d E m m a Drake, D oug’s grandpar ents, first lived in the home, ranched and farmed wheat, follow ed by his parents, Douglas and Grace Drake. After serving in the Navy, Doug came home to farm. Carley grew up on the lone farm o f her par en t's, Roland and Donna Bergstrom. Growing and keeping a nice yard comes natural to both Carley and Doug who like to “ keep things green.” C arley m ow s the 1 ‘/ 2 -acre lawn and the two share weeding duty. Blessed with good soil, they do keep busy w atering with hose and sprinklers; there are no immediate plans for under ground sprinklers. A weeping birch tree surrounded by plantings is Doug’s favorite area o f the yard. C arley ’s favorite is Heppner Garden Club scrapbooks on display The Heppner Garden Club has purchased a book case for scrapbooks o f past and present garden clubs in the area.

The Drakes use rus tic farm implements, large boulders, driftwood and an old stove as yard accents. At age 14, Doug brought home three small tree starts and heeled them in by a raspberry patch in the back yard. The raspberries are long gone, but the starts are now three towering, close growing pines. They help shade the kennel o f Josie, the family dog. A large, heavy-duty swing set rem ains in the yard although children Amy and Kevin are grown. This summer, A m y’s w edding was held in the Drake’s back yard and young guests used the swings throughout the ceremony. The home and yard also host the Drake family reunion every other year. When asked if he sits in the park-like yard on summer evenings, Doug jo k es that after w orking outside or in his shop all day that he likes “to sit in the house and look out at the yard.” After being a part of such a long family tradition o f hard work, that sounds like a good idea. The Featured G ar den o f the Month recogni tion was began this year by the Heppner Garden Club to honor those with excep tional seasonal highlights, special outdoor projects or out o f city limit yards.
