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

Garden of the Year award by the Heppner Garden Club.

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.
