May as Yard of the Month for May. The home was originally built in 1919 and has been added onto over the years. Since purchasing the hi me in 2005, the Lauritsens have replaced the windows and roof and painted the exterior. They have also remod eled the interior, filling it with photos from their joint hobby of photography. The double lot borders Willow Creek, where they have planted fruit trees and asparagus along the bank. While removing weeds and overgrowth by the creek, Pat discovered an older rock terrace. Wildlife along the creek includes beavers, who have sampled some of the new plantings. Behind the house are raised beds for vegetables. A picket fence encloses a garden of berries (which Pat freezes, dries and cans) with an herb wheel and an arbor built by Carl. The dogs, Sheena, Calli and Bo, enjoy a large grassy pen with newly planted trees, shrubs and a Willy’s jeep. Climbing roses wend through the jeep, and its bed is now a planter for annuals and vegetables. Two large trees were removed in the front yard, allowing more light for the new perennial beds and mak ing room for a curved sidewalk to the front door. Rocks collected in their travels are placed throughout. Pat and Carl also enjoy searching for antiques and rustics, using their finds as yard art, including their large welcome sign. Their garden contains old work boots filled with sedum, which originally lined the processional aisle for their wedding at Cutsforth Park. Soil quality has been improved by adding com post, sand and chicken manure, and straw is used as a mulch to “keep the weeds down.” While working the soil, Pat found a rusty, forged mule shoe. They try plants that are a challenge for our climate, such as hydrangea, magnolia and artichoke. Pat’s favorite plants are irises, and she looks forward to trying different plant starts from local gardens. Carl claims not to have any favorite plant, although he might like the wood ferns and foxgloves. Only Pat pulls the weeds, since Carl says he would pull out good plants and leave the weeds. He has put together an irrigation system of drip lines and sprinklers, and he does the mowing. Their plantings include blueberry, gooseberry, currant, strawberries, ‘Canby’ raspberries, a honeysuckle shrub, mock orange, ‘Miss Kim’ lilac, flowering almond, hollyhocks, table grapes, ninebark, forsythia, poppies, peonies, columbine, spring flowering bulbs, wooly thyme, ‘snow in summer,’ daises, candytuft, ‘rose of Sharon,’ asters, delphiniums, asters, sunrose, creeping phlox, car nations, lilies, bleeding hearts, hostas, coral bell, ‘snow on the mountain,’ Jacob’s Ladder, flowering cherry tree and Japanese maple...all providing proof of Pat’s love of “the English garden look.” She recommends to “plant what you love, then you will work” on it. Originally from Seattle, Carl works as a para medic at Pioneer Memorial Hospital. Pat learned self- sufficiency at an early age, growing up at an altitude of about 5,000’ in the Coastal Range of British Columbia, where her family homesteaded without electricity. Her love of gardening came later when she lived along the Fraser River. Pat moved to Heppner because of Carl and is the manager at Windwave Communications. Carl’s son, Stacey, lives in Heppner. His son, Paul, is in Portland but has come back to contribute to yard projects. Future plans are adding a fence using basalt columns and lumber, and redoing the entrance for the backyard. There is no doubt that it will match the charm of the rest of the yard. Yard of the Month recognition is co-sponsored by the City of Heppner, MCGG-Green Feed and the Hep pner Garden Club.
