Traditionally in past years, Park City Gardens has awarded the distinction of “Garden of the Month” to local residents whose yards and gardens are showcases of natural beauty, wonderfully cultivated by area residents with a green thumb and an eye for design, and they name a “Garden of the Month” each summer for the months of June, July, and August to honor the homeowners and gardeners at/of those properties.
For June 2024, Park City Gardens made their first “Neighborhood of Beautiful Gardens” distinction in lieu of a single “Garden of the Month.”
“As we drove around the city looking for the exceptional gardens, we drove right into a neighborhood of three lavish gardens,” award nominating members of Park City Gardens said. “It just wasn’t right to choose just one of these gardens, so we decided to do a ‘Neighborhood of Beautiful Gardens.’”
“The neighborhood is settled in a wooded area surrounded by beautiful mature tall trees. These trees tower over the homes and gardens adding additional beauty.”
“All three homeowners have worked the beauty of the woods surrounding their homes into the beauty of their gardens,” nominators said. “As you may notice, they also worked netting and fencing into the design. They have done this not only to protect their plants, but to continue to share the area with the animals that were there before the gardens.”
“The gardens are located on Bramble Way, providing a beautiful welcome to the neighborhood. The proud gardeners work together and take care of each other’s gardens. Between all of them, they have almost 70 years of gardening experience. It is interesting that each one had their own philosophy on the planning and layout of their individual garden, and yet each one is as beautiful as the others.”
Take a drive down Bramble Way to enjoy these beautiful and colorful gardens.
Being honored with the “June 2024 Neighborhood of Beautiful Gardens” distinction are three couples whose properties are located on the street: Greg and Kathryn Gill at 605 Bramble Way, Dan and Terry Vanderheiden at 604 Bramble Way, and Eileen and Jim Richardson at 607 Bramble Way.
