Yard of the Month
Winner/Street:
Rick and Mary RaffertyWest Southgate
Unique Yard Features:
The yard features that were most
appealing were the abundance of color and variety of the many different types
of flowers. The begonias were very eye
catching and went almost all the way around the landscape. The colors ranged from pink, red and
white.
The Rafferty's beautiful house
featured a wraparound porch that is decorated with ivy geraniums that accent
the house and flow with the perfectly manicured landscape. It is not all annuals at the Rafferty's. They have several flower beds planted all
types of colorful and well maintained perennials. One of our favorite features of this house
was a fern hanging basket that is by far the largest fern we have ever seen;
obvious signs of a green thumb!
Rick and
Mary pull this amazing house and landscape together by a green lawn that just
looks like you would want to have a picnic on it.
Tips from Ft. Thomas
Florist
The fall is a great time to
plant trees, shrubs, and grasses. It is
also a perfect time to fertilize your lawn and to lay grass seed. It’s that time of year to decorate your yard
with fall decorations like straw bales, cornstalks, mums, pumpkins, gourds, and
Indian corn.
