Congratulations to Sam and Sherry Jones for having their property selected as Yard of the Month for April! As you can see, a lot of love and hard work goes into their yard! Sherry gives the credit to Sam for their beautiful place. He knows a lot about flowers and plants and has an eye for creating peaceful areas. The yard is full of gorgeous colorful flowers and trees along with a two tiered pool. You can just imagine how peaceful it would be to sit and listen to the trickle of the water! This lovely outside space has so much to offer the senses! Thank you Sam and Sherry for your efforts to make Franklinville a beautiful place to live! Visit our facebook page for more lovely photos.

Congratulations to Doug and Carol Stewart-High for their property being selected as Franklinville’s Yard of the Month for September! This amazing space has a spa like ambiance and is often called “the tree house.” Beautiful geraniums greet the eye as one walks up to the lovely front porch. An eclectic group of shade and sun plants adds a burst of color throughout the yard. Around back, a stucco walled garden contains a variety of vegetables and herbs and has a Mediterranean flair! Espaliers hang on the walls with lush, green vines. In a front flower bed, a curious little turtle suns on a rock among an abundance of succulents trying to figure out what the new sign says! Thank you to Doug and Carol for the beautiful place they have created in our small town! Visit our facebook page to see all the photos of this beautiful yard.

Yard of the Month for August 2021 goes to Joe and Linda Rivera! Every inch of this property is filled with colorful flowers, large shade trees and lush, green grass!

Congratulations to the Rivera’s for making their yard a beautiful space in our small town! Visit our facebook page to view all the photos of their home.
