Clarks win June Yard of the Month award
By Kay Proctor
G ary and C h er-

Fairview Way was selected
as H eppner’s Yard o f the
Month for June.
B u ilt o rig in a lly
in 1955, the Clarks moved
in with sons Jerem y and
Josh during October, 1978,
because o f Gary’s job with
th e US F o re st S e rv ic e
in H eppner. Son Jerem y
joined the family a couple
years later.
Together, the cou
ple has tackled landscaping
projects in addition to a
front porch, carport, back
patio and a pergola with a
double swing. The Clarks
replaced windows and ex
terior doors in addition to
re-siding and painting the
house themselves. Cherrie
works right along with Gary
on major projects.
T he hom e backs
up to open hillside, so the
Clarks have created exten
sive terraces, using six to
seven pallets o f landscape
b lo ck s. T hey h au led in
basalt rock for terracing in
the back yard and have used
brick and flagstone in other
projects.
Deer are frequent
visitors and aggressive eat
ers. To ensure a vegetable
garden, a large area has
been fenced off. An en
trance through a brightly
painted screen door leads
to tomatoes, bell peppers,
raspberries and other good
things. Himrod and Sonoma
grape varieties grow close
by.
C h e rrie g ro w s
herbs throughout the mixed
flowerbeds; sage, tarragon,
oregano, chives, rosemary

along w ith p lan tin g s o f
rhubarb and onions.
So fa r, s e v e r a l
peach, apples and plum
trees have su rv iv ed the
deer’s foraging. Other trees
include weeping cherry and
a red leafed, flowering plum
named “Lucy”.
Gary rem em bers,
not so fondly, an overgrown
maple that needed removed
from their back yard. He
spent a month with a pick
axe to get the extensive
root system out from the
compacted ground. Out o f
curiosity, he took time to
run his metal detector over
the area and discovered
a sterling silver bracelet
among the roots. With some
detective work, the original
owner was found and the
bracelet returned to them.
Now retired from
the U SFS, G ary w orks
part-tim e for Three Val
leys Ranch near Fossil. He
and Cherrie travel for their
business, Garden Gate An
tiques, to shows or for buy
ing trips.
The C la rk ’s love
o f antiques is shown with
the use o f rustics through
out their landscape; iron
beds, retro plant stands,
parlor chairs, a travel trunk
planted with sedums. An
exceptional century old,
two-wheel plumber’s hand
cart is planted with colorful
annuals.
O th e r s u r p r i s
es include a w ood park
bench painted purple, wind
chimes, a blue glass gazing
ball and a metal sculpture
Cherrie created from found
treasures.
Plants found at their
home are juniper, flowering
almond, snow-in-summer.
