Gulf Hills Garden Club Marjorie Albrycht Yard Award for March of 2015

A local Gardner was presented by the Gulf Hills Garden Club, with the Marjorie Albrycht Yard Award for March of 2015.
The long time Gulf Hills resident and Gardner was also given a Camellia Japonica "Delores Edwards" (1989) hybrid to plant in his beautiful garden.  At this time of year on the Gulf Coast it can be a bit difficult to find a garden that has not been hit by the ravages of winter. This one was full of glorious blooms that made us all feel a bit closer to actual spring, which for us will be not to far down the road...Oh, wait, what is that??? I can see it just ahead! Spring is truly almost here!

Among the many plants that were flowering in our yard of the month choice were,

Magnolia liliiflora or Japanese magnolia

 Galanthus or Snow Drops

And three different types of Camellia

We hope that the images above will give  you a small glimpse of why we chose this garden as the yard of the month!
