Our beautiful autumn season is here. Elly Crain
at 7881 Heather Lake Ct. E. has done a beautiful job
displaying the fall colors. Standing in the front
yard is a scarecrow surrounded by a garden of
lantana, a firecracker plant and chrysanthemums.
Accenting the front of the home are very
attractive custom made window boxes with ornamental
gourds, dusty miller, ferns and marigolds. The
bordering garden contains lorapetalum, lantana,
boxwood, moss rose, Aztec grass, purple queen and a
crepe myrtle. As you follow the path past the
weeping holly, to the main entrance you will find a
fall pumpkin displayed on a block of hay sitting
next to a pretty antique sitting bench.
The front garden has a bottlebrush, nandina
plants, a canna lilly and Mexican heather with
ornamental rocks interspersed.

This very cozy, quaint home belongs to Greg and Cary Flynn. These healthy plants have been maintained by Greg’s meticulous fertilizing. A grape gathering cart with Crown of thorns and flowering vincas catches your attention as one drives down the road. The front of the house is lined with holly, boxwood, azaleas and a planter of Mexican petunias. The background is highlighted with an antique plant stand containing baby blue point junipers, gourds and miniature pumpkins. The corner of the house is accented with a bird bath containing another Crown of thorns plant and a rabbit statue beside it. Ligustrum and sago line the opposite corner. The attractive entrance has a trailing vinca plant on a pedestal and a pumpkin to welcome the fall season.

sweet flag and umbrella grass growing around it. Viburnum and ligustrum add

Yes, it has been extremely hot and difficult to maintain our grass and
flowers but one can find a wonderful garden View
here in Deercreek. At the front corner of the
home there is a tiered holly bush with pink and

Confederate jasmine is used as ground cover
under the majestic live oak in front of the
home. Along the curved walkway next to the brick
surface there are strategically placed holly
shrubs, pittosporum and barberry, with a spiral
cedar in the corner. Continuing along the front,
color is added with crimson hued coleus, golden
daisies, pink gardenias and yellow marigolds.
Azaleas and ligustrum finish off the landscape
as well as a podocarpus in training for an arch.
