It’s been a challenge to give the nominees the “props” they deserve. Every garden in this list has been lovingly maintained over the years. There may have been some professional help along the way but, each garden is a reflection of the owners. The care and dedication they have poured into improving their outdoor living space.
Edward & Evelyn Rappaport
880 St. Andrews Way
Best kept secret. The house with its traditional landscaping in front gives no clue as to the great combination of perennials, greases, vegetables that are blended harmoniously into a single, comfortable garden.
Tom & Jane Luscombe
874 St. Andrews Way
Best use of shade & Water. This garden lies under mature oaks and borders our branch of Hickory Creek. A tidy lawn is defined by massive perennial borders that incorporate shrubs and flowering trees. A bridge and reclaimed tombstones draw visitors through the garden.
Sakhie & Ann Hussain
Best use of foliage and texture. Year-round interest is provided by the effective combination of woody shrubs and trees. Perennial & annual flowers add zest but the real story is the interaction of leaf color and branching habit.
Tony & Sandy Weber
895 St. Andrews Way
Best use of perennials. The huge perennial border in the back yard provides April to October color. Plantings in this yard are used to effectively define space and provide a strong sense of privacy in a very open area.
Cesar & Jane Nannizzi
638 Pheasant Trail
Best use of mature trees. Well maintained beds of perennials and shrubs highlight a grove of mature oaks. The overall effect is peaceful and private.
Don & Kay MacNeil
689 Golf Club Lane
Best combination of species. It seems that every inch of space has been used to define a view of highlight a specimen. Annual, perennials, trees, and shrubs are all combined to great effect. Every corner leads to a new and surprising view.
Sherman & Harriet Susman
592 Timber Lane
Best use of woody plants. Roses thrive in this haven where every pant looks like a well maintained (and pruned) specimen.
