The Enotah Garden-August gardens of the month

Sadie Yates' home.

This month we decided to feature a new yard and chose the recently occupied Yates home at 4157 Ashland Cove. Dr. Mrs. Yates is the gardener in this yard and has started flower beds along the front of the house with low growing evergreens and blur ageratum. These continue on the other side of the front steps into a corner planting, where a cottoncastor will soon sport it's red berries making colorful back drop for fall. Presently, added color comes from containers filled with bright red geraniums and dusty miller. This experienced gardener has her yard off to a good start.

Ron Palmich of 4175 Ashland Cove Dr. designed the landscape for their property four years ago and keeps two detailed diagrams to work from. Most of the landscaping has been completed, but the future could hold a project, or two. Behind the house is a

beam which appears to be a large raised flower bed. Actually, it's a private putting green ringed with flowering shrubs and Stella D'Oro lilies.

In the woody front yard are dry stream beds formed in the Japanese style with varying sizes of rocks. The simulated streams meandering around this landscape serve a purpose during heavy rainfall, they channel unwanted overflow into the culverts Ron has hidden with more rocks.

Susan and Ron Palmich's home.

Outside the kitchen window are the soothing sounds of a waterfall gently splashing into a fish pond, lush with aquatic plants.

Susan's contribution to gardening is picking the flowers Ron grows. He said there is something blooming yearround in his yard.

To all Young Harris gardeners we say, as always thank you for keeping Young Harris beautiful.
