The Garden Club at Palm Coast has recognized Debbie Lueckert of Casper Drive as September 2024 Garden selection of the Month.
Lueckert moved with her husband and two young sons to Palm Coast from Michigan in November 1980 to be with her family. Her parents were early residents of the ITT’s Palm Coast.
Her husband was an ITT real estate employee and Lueckert was a kindergarten school teacher. She finally retired 15 years ago and now she spends her time gardening.
Their front door welcomes you to beautiful pots of red anthuriums (also known as the Flamingo flower which supposedly symbolizes love, passion and good luck), fuchsias (the exotic flowers attract Hummingbirds and other pollinators), peace lilies and a lush green tractor seat plant.
Throughout the landscape there are various flowering plants, such as red gardenias, bougainvillea, angel wing begonias and coleus, and for plants there are split leaf philodendron, elephant ear, bottlebrush and a money tree, to name a few.
It needs to be mentioned that in the pool area Lueckert has an orchid pergola with over 50 gorgeous blooming orchids — or as she says “too many” — as well as an octopus air plant, Turkish rope and mondo grass grown for ground cover.
The Garden Club meets monthly on the second Monday of the Month at 1:00 p.m. at Club 51, 51 Old Kings Rd. No. Palm Coast, Sept. through May. The plant sale is open to the public 11:30-1:00 p.m.
