Kingwood Garden Clubs April Yard of the Month announced

Judy and Byron Lewis home landscape at 3435 Tree Lane in Bear Branch received Kingwood Garden Clubs April Yard of the Month award.

Byron said Judy does 95 percent of the work herself. He does help with fertilizing and provides moral support. He mostly enjoys the beautiful results.

Judy comes from a family of farmers. Its in her genes to work the soil. She believes in preparing the soil to achieve good results using organic matter such as compost, straw, fine wood bark and peat moss.

When they first moved in their home in 1997, Judy spent a great deal of time digging up trees and plants that didnt work and replacing them with trees, shrubs and flowers that she loves.

Some favorites are the Queen Palm, Sago Palm, Mexican Fan Palm, ferns, Chinese Fringe, roses, azaleas, begonias and agapanthus. Her goal is to continue to plant mostly perennials and reserve special areas in her yard for annuals. She strives to plant for four season interest.
