KEYSTONE HEIGHTS—This month’s Yard-of-the-Month recipients are Greg and Lois Taylor.

The couple moved to Keystone about 18 months ago and have been working tirelessly to enhance their front landscape which adds to their home’s amazing curb appeal.

However, the backyard is where everything gardening is happening.

In just over a year, the Taylors have built amazing, raised beds of wildflowers, planted honeysuckle on the trellis and nurtured numerous fruit trees on the property including organic olive trees, Myer’s lemon, muscadine grapes and a variety of vegetables.

 

Just a few of the vegetables the couple are raising are tomatoes, potatoes, onions, beans, beets and carrots. Strawberries and blueberries are planned for the future.

Greg and Lois said they are loving our community and the people in Keystone Heights. They added that they may even join the Garden Club.

If you would like to nominate a yard for Yard of the Month or would like to learn more about the Garden Club of the Lakes, please give Deirdre Murphy a call at 352-281-3026.
