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.
