The Country Hills Garden Club awards the June Beauty Spot of the Month to Erma and Richard Guerrero for their marvelously well-kept landscape at 9918 Broadview Drive. The Guerrero’s shared love of gardening is plain to see in the lush lawn and attractive plantings surrounding their home.  For color during spring and summer seasons, the Guerreros have selected perennials well -suited for their flower beds. A row of shade-loving astilbe with cotton candy-pink plumage softens the dark wooden privacy fence at the property’s left side. Three spiking arborvitaes add vertical accent to the shorter plants in the sun-filled gardens in front of the house.  The white brick walls provide a bright backdrop for showcasing the unique colors and forms found in clusters of green and cream striped hosta leaves, mounds of pink kisses dianthus, and upright stems of lavender phlox.  With a glance at the yard, the casual observer feels the cooling, restful effect of pastel blossoms. A closer look at the garden near the front door prompts a change of mood. The Guerreros increase interest and excitement with a surprising switch to the warm, energetic tones of the dwarf emerald holly and red maple, maroon coral bells, and luminous yellow lilies. You must see the recent remarkable transformation of this CCH landscape!

Gardening adds years to your life and life to your years.
