Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 28, 2021 -- SEVEN
July yard of the month awarded
By Kay Proctor
Caroline Reynosa and
son, Jason Cheek, have
been recognized as the
July Yard of the Month in
Heppner.
The cute home sits in an
oasis of green lawn edged
by colorful plantings, but it
all was in very rough shape
when the family moved into
the rental about a year and
a half ago. The two made
plans, then got busy: the
front curb and side drive-
way got new gravel, trees
and shrubs trimmed, new
beds were dug out, a jungle
of weeds removed, the lawn
refreshed and regularly
watered.
When ready for plant-
ing, Caroline was given
starts from local resident,
Tonya Jones, her BFF since
being kids together in Mil-
ton-Freewater. Tonya is
married to Caroline’s broth-
er, Lowell, one of the nine
children in their family.
Caroline is retired now but
has worked as a beautician,
waitress and was a caregiv-
er in the Bend where she
received employee of the
month honors.
Inspired by her mother
who loved gardening and
grew flowers everywhere,
Caroline says she is hap-
py as she could be when
“digging in the dirt.” She

was surprised and shocked
several years ago when her
Milton-Freewater home
received the Yard of the
Month recognition there
and was surprised again to
receive the same honor in
Heppner.
While Caroline’s favor-
ite plant is hybrid lupine,
her yard is full of salvia,
poppies, marigolds, lilacs,
roses, Japanese iris, sun-
flowers, hens and chicks,
petunias, apple mint, ver-
bena and more all neatly
tended to. Most beds are
accented with interesting
larger rocks and outdoor
decor.
Jason and Caroline’s
favorite place in the yard is
a screened patio they cre-
ated from a garage. Nearby
a feeder is kept full for
the visiting songbirds and
because Caroline ‘loves
my hummingbirds,’ their
feeder is hung where she
can view it from the living
room window.
These two aren’t
through yet and future plans
include planting for shade
in their backyard that backs
up to Willow Creek.
Caroline credits son
Jason, saying he works
hard to keep things nice,
yet Jason says that Caroline
deserves all the recognition,
but to the rest of the world,
it appears that keeping a
green yard and bright flow-
ers blooming during an
extensive heatwave is the
result of some real team-
work.
Yard of the Month is
co-sponsored by the Hep-
pner Volunteers, MCGG/
Green Feed Store, and the
City of Heppner.
This well cared for house has all you like in a classic tradi-
