The garden of Jerry and Donna Bird of Francis Lane has been recognized as the November 2023 Selection of the Month by The Garden Club at Palm Coast.
Originally from upstate New York (Adirondack area), the Birds moved to Palm Coast two years ago, and there was no landscaping.
Donna has been a master gardener in four states (Tennessee, Alabama, New York, and Florida). She likes planting in threes to provide a more natural, non-linear look to the landscape, and Jerry assists with planting. What a team!
The front bed on the left side of the house has red and white salvia, white pentas, blue daze, hydrangea, white plumeria and a variegated devil’s backbone, for which Donna won a blue ribbon from the UF/IFAS Extension office.
The couple has a beautiful enormous backyard with various gardens and plants. They created a small pond, which is surrounded by numerous perennials.
The Garden Club meets monthly on the second Monday at 1 p.m. at VFW 47 Old Kings Road N., Palm Coast, from September through May. The plant sale from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. is open to the public. For more information, go to gardenclubatpalmcoast.org.
