Jeff Milkins and Steve Parker's garden at Foxhall Lane in Palm Coast has been honored as The Garden Club at Palm Coast's April 2024 Selection of the Month, thanks to its vibrant colors and lush greenery.
Having moved from Reading, Pennsylvania in May 2022, the couple transformed their retirement project into a breathtaking tropical paradise. The front of their home showcases Sago palms, Hawaiian Ti Plants, Mammy crotons, bromeliads, red bougainvillea, crinum lilies, and red mandevillas, creating a stunning entryway. An impressive agave in the center of the driveway and pink mandevillas near the garage further enhances the visual appeal.
The backyard, however, is where their garden truly becomes a tropical oasis. An orchid house with over 100 plants of more than a dozen varieties, alongside blooming pink azaleas, yellow Shrimp plants, Fire Bush, red pentas, Indian Hawthorn, Golden Dew Drops, and Elephant Ears, creates a rich tapestry of colors and textures. The pool area features an orange bush lily from Pennsylvania, white bromeliads, poinsettias, and Vanda orchids, blending memories of home with tropical beauty.
Jeff and Steve's garden is a testament to their passion and commitment to beautifying their slice of Palm Coast.
The Garden Club meets monthly on the second Monday of the month at 1:00 p.m. at the 51 Club, 51 Old Kings Road, Palm Coast, September through May. The plant sale is open to the public 11:30 a.m.—1:00 p.m.
