1. Peg & Loren Andresen.: Peg and Loren have lived in their home for

over 40 years with most of the plants and landscape installed in the last 8

years. A brick pathway leads through the gated arbor to the small back yard.

Shade gardens and a variety of perennials and annuals surround the house

and garage providing color and texture throughout the seasons. A raised bed

on the patio is used for the vegetable garden. Old iron and street objects that

have been collected over the years are displayed throughout. Wild raspber-

ries and a redbud tree round out the landscape.

2. Julia & Larry Leonard: Nestled on a quiet, tree lined street in Camanche

is a stately Victorian styled home. This has been their resid ence 43 years .

Their home is surrounded by beautiful gardens with unusual perennials,

annuals and garden décor. A rustic garden shed with colorful window boxes

was built by Larry with barn boards from a century old barn. The back yard

features a brick patio with a pergola for afternoon tea. The wrap around

curtain draped front porch is a great place to enjoy a glass of wine with

friends and neighbors.

3. Linda Lampe & Denny Hall: Linda and Denny built their home in 2010

with a privacy fence for their three Labradors. The landscape includes

shade trees, ornamental fences and walkways. Several berms were added to

showcase plants along with artwork and birdfeeders. The gardens feature

unusual plants not found in the “Big Box Stores”. The hundreds of perenni-

als and annuals guarantee big splashes of color from spring through fall.

4. Joyce & Art Ollie: The small manicured front yard of Joyce and Art Ollie

is a little deceiving. Walking along the path on the north side of the house ,

you will be amazed by the hidden garden just ahead. As you walk under an

arbor covered with a climbing hydrangea, you will find a lovely garden of

perennials, unusual dwarf conifers and unique artwork. A waterfall tops off

this well planned garden which offers several cozy venues to sit and relax

with a cold glass of lemonade.

5. Linda Rayburn: The color scheme of annuals and perennials surrounding

this 1956 ranch house include shades of pink and blue. A flock of twelve

fun flamingos are scattered throughout the landscape. Flowering trees and

hydrangeas compliment containers of unusual annuals and succulents. Seat-

ing throughout the yard whispers“ come and sit awhile”.

6. Chris & Randy Meier: This yard features a var iety of landscapes. In

the large vegetable garden you will find tomatoes and sweet corn as well as

garlic and sweet potatoes. Fruit trees and berries round out the food-

producing landscape. The garden is bordered with spit rail fencing and per-

ennial beds. Mature oak, hickory and black cherry are scattered through the

yard, complemented by younger oaks, conifers and flowering trees all plant-

ed by Randy and Chris. All provide habitat and nesting for the birds they

love to watch. The native prairie was planted as a transition between the

mowed yard and the heavily timbered bluff above Little Mill Creek.
