September 16,2009 - S EV EN Hollands receive Conservation Garden of the Year award By Kay Proctor Dale and Karen Holland’s creative front yard earned them “Con servation Garden of the Year” recognition from the Heppner Garden Club fitting the club’s pledge “to protect and conserve the natural resources of the planet....air, water, forests, land and wild life.” Their home, the historic “Notson House” at 335 N. Gale, was built in 1906 in Italian Renais sance style and had a traditional lawn when the Holland family moved in. Raising their four kids in a home with a basement and three stories kept schoolteacher Dale and homemaker Karen busy. But in 1970, Kar en went to work for the Forest Service, living at Madison Butte Lookout Tower during fire season, so changes began for a more easy to maintain front yard. First thing to go was the lawn, lightening watering and mowing du ties. Over the years, large rocks, found here and there by the Hollands, formed mounds with a va riety of plantings tucked around them. Thriving plants eventually grew over and hid the original Dale and Karen Holland were awarded the Conservation Garden of the Year award by the Heppner Garden Club. -Photo by Kay Proctor rocks. Karen keeps weeds at bay with spritzes from a spray bottle of vinegar. Feeders are set out for wild birds that grate fully repay the favor by ‘dropping’ new plant seeds to surprise the Hollands the next growing season. Dales says “we keep what plants we like and pull up what we don't like.” There are several trees including peach, but a healthy, curly leafed wil low tree dominates. Their “crooked tree” provides friendly shade for the porch where Dale reads his news paper and branches for Karen's woodcarving proj ects. After retiring from teaching. Dale signed on for lookout work, too. Each had their own towers in New Mexico and greatly enjoyed the area and people there although they now are both retired. As a reminder of the Southwest, Karen keeps a number of cacti in pots scattered throughout, then takes them in when the weather cools. S m all s ta tu a ry and rustics are scattered around plants such as yew, smoke tree, barberry, roses, Snow-on-the-Mountain, dahlias, hens-and-chicks, lavender, daylilies and mugho pine. Plans are to remove a couple of juni per shrubs. Dale rigged up a watering system using PVC pipe and elevated sprinkler heads. A w eekly 1” watering keeps every thing green and grow ing. Water is collected during irrigation to use for spot w atering and for w a ter for Stormin’ Norman, their Maine coon cat. Digging in a site hit by the 1903 Heppner flood has yielded some small discoveries; a metal thimble, a horseshoe, por celain doll parts, a glass jar lid dated 1886 and opium bottles. R em e m b e rin g her mother’s large veg etable gardens, Karen states that she ‘has always enjoyed gardening." Dale insists that their multi use style is not hard to do; “see a pretty rock, pick it up and throw it in the yard, plant some groundcover.” And watch conservation begin. The Conservation Yard/Garden of the Year award is co-sponsored by the Heppner Garden Club, Pettyjohn's Builders Supply, Miller and Sons Excavating and Windwave/Heppner TV. lone American Legion Auxiliary collecting items to send to soldiers The lone American Legion Auxiliary will be collecting items to be sent to overseas soldiers.
