JANUARY YARD OF THE MONTH

The Clermont Garden Club’s choice for January 2020 Yard of the Month is 2815 Highland View Circle in the Summit Greens neighborhood. This lovely home and yard belong to Terry and Russ Moore. The flower beds that surround the house on all sides are overflowing with flowering plants such as heather, marigolds, canna lily, crown of thorns, inpatient’s, snapdragons, salvia, poinsettia, Datura, begonias, and celosia. A lovely and less often seen pink powder puff tree is in the front yard as well as a rare white powder puff tree. Flowering camellias and magnolias are in the front and back yard. Scattered among the flowers in all the beds are assorted lush succulents such as sedums and echeverias. The screened patio area is shaded by topped Norfolk pine trees that offer a cool comfortable retreat from the summer heat. A water fountain there is surrounded by orchids, bromeliads, begonias, ferns, dwarf bananas, and ivy. The back yard is one large flower bed with additional planting of roses, bush daisy, caladiums, pagoda plants, and more.  What lucky neighbors to have such a beautiful view to enjoy!  

Clermont Garden Club members meet every third Wednesday of the month (except scheduled  field trips,  holiday luncheon,  and end of the year luncheon) at the clubhouse located at 849 West Avenue,  Clermont,  Florida 34711.  Meetings begin at 10:00 A.M.  New members and guests are warmly welcome.
