SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 1,2011 lone at state track championships DeMayo receives 2011 Garden Highlight award By Paula Emmel A profusion of perennials, like these “Snow in Summer” plants, won Neva DeMayo’s backyard a Garden Highlight award from the Garden Club. -Contributedphoto By Kay Proctor The Heppner Gar den Club recognizes the exceptional plantings of “ Snow in Summer” and “ Basket o f Gold” peren nials in Neva DeM ayo’s backyard on Gilmore Street as a Garden Highlight for 2011. DeMayo is enjoy ing her sixth gardening sea son in Heppner and enjoys “looking out her window at pretty things” in her yard. Originally from the town of Olathe in the greater Kansas City, KS area, she moved several times with her hus band, Dave DeMayo, dur ing his U.S. Army career. They moved here when Dave hired on as the city manager. An active volun teer with the Garden Club and Friends o f the Library, Neva doesn’t call herself a gardener, but her pleasant terraced yard says other wise. Maintaining what was there upon moving in, she : has added her own personal touches with yard decora tions of natural materials such as a wood chair, wood birdhouses and vine wreath. The DeMayo’s three cats also enjoy the fenced back yard’s quiet privacy. To keep costs low, Neva recommends trans planting plantings from one’s own yard or from the Garden C lub’s plant ex change. While her favorite plants are peonies, she does make sure that sunflowers, the Kansas state flower, have been present in her previous yards and here, as she enjoys the birds and butterflies attracted to them. The Garden High light recognition honors those with exceptional sea sonal highlights, special outdoor projects or rural lo cations. To suggest a place for this honor, contact Kay Proctor o f the H eppner Garden Club. OPEN HOUSE lone was well rep resented at state.
