The Garden Club at Palm Coast has recognized Maggie and Mike Marion of Foxhall Lane as the October 2024 Garden Selection of the Month.
They have friends from Michigan who had moved to Palm Coast, and they would visit them once a year to play golf. They liked it so much that they moved to Palm Coast 10 years ago.
They have a lovely front yard with so much color it attracts pollinators who enjoy its beauty and fragrances. The yard is dotted with many birdhouses and feeders and has four to five clutches of bluebirds a year.
In the hot weather, the Marions attach a miniature umbrella above their birdhouses to help keep the mother cool. The front island has many large magenta and bright red zinnias, plus beautiful red, pink, peach, and white roses. There are plumbago bushes, yellow allamanda, and firebush.
The Garden Club meets monthly on the second Monday of the Month at 1:00 p.m. at Club 51, 51 Old Kings Rd., from September through May. The plant sale is open to the public 11:30-1:00 p.m.
