Lowen yard featured by Bullhook Blossoms Garden Club

Bullhook Blossoms Garden Club

On a beautifully clear night the solar lights illuminate the patriotic front yard at 1166 Cleveland Ave. with flag and red sylvia, purple petunia and acopa flowers. In a hanging basket is dragon wing begonia and sweet potato vine.

The backyard is just as serene, which you can enjoy from the screened patio with the family antiques worked into the flower beds. You will find moss roses and dahlia in an old black butchering kettle. Wagon wheels adorn the back gravel landscaping, along with a ceramic truck that is adorned with red petunias and begonias. Along the side fence is an old head board that has honeysuckle in memory of Chuck. Cornflower, false sunflowers and black-eyed Susan complete the beds along the fence. A windmill is featured in this setting, too. At night, this is illuminated with solar lights, too.

Earlier, beautiful climbing roses were on the fence.

The highlight of the backyard is the pond with ferns, waterlily, water hyacinths and lizard tail.

This yard gives Vicke Lowen peace and tranquility, and, as you leave, you see a huge, beautiful hydrangea plant.
