Williamsburg Settlement Yard of the Month - June 2023
JUNE YARD OF THE MONTH
The June Yard-of-the-Month award goes to Patti and Richard Collier of 22402 Prince George Street.
The Colliers have lived in the Settlement for 31 years and raised their children in the neighborhood. You may often see them working in their yard during the mornings, since they do all their own landscaping from mowing the grass to tending the flower beds.
They love living in the Settlement because of the large and numerous trees, different style of home architecture and friendly neighbors. Their grandchildren also get to visit quite often and can enjoy the neighborhood as well.
Recently the Colliers have replaced older shrubs with new plants, therefore the full potential of the landscaping is yet to come. However, their middle bed consists of bridal wreath, Texas sage, thryallis, blue plumbago, belladonna lilies and seasonal vincas on the end for added color during the summer. Pink azaleas still line the house on the right, while seasonal color azaleas are on the left of the house. Around the pine tree, they have placed silver mound artemisia and purple rock cress. Of all the plants listed, they highly recommend amaryllis belladonnas in a yard since these plants are low maintenance with beautiful flowers.
Congratulations to the Colliers for being June's recipient of the Yard of the Month!
