November yard of the month goes to the fall festival that’s happening at 815 Merrill. Joanna Queen and her husband, Daniel Dylla moved in 2 years ago with their two girls after doing a renovation to the original bungalow. The front porch is so inviting and is a welcome extra room during this social distancing time. It’s got swings and comfy furniture along with attractive details that encourage you to sit outside and relax, visit or have a cocktail.
Front beds are planted with sandy leaf fig ivy, walking irises, giant liriope and lysmachia. The birch tree is about 30 years old and they planted the maple when we moved in. Joanna has the Front porch beautifully decorated with pumpkins and chrysanthemums right now. A fun flock of decorative bats seem lifelike on the walls and in fact flitter off sometimes!
Tip of the trowel to this family for creating such a beautiful yard and outdoor space! Congratulations!
