and July’s Yard of the Month

Polk County Master Gardeners are proud to announce John and Robin Pounder with the Yard of the Month for July. They live at 2609 Michelle Dr. in Mena.

John and Robin exemplified all the criteria for qualification to be selected. Weekly mowing, weedless flower beds, regular mulching, all shrubs trimmed, insect control, and free of debris, trash cans and recycle bins.

This is their true passion, as they love plants, flowers and trees. This is clear to see with the variety in their yard. The yard is also accented with natural elements like rocks John has gathered from creek beds.

They have a very comfortable backyard, perfect for relaxing and enjoyable entertainment. They certainly help Mena look beautiful. We Thank John and Robin for their hard work.

Master Gardeners in attendance were Judy Petty, president; Lena Day, vice president; members Ann Glenn, Michael Cate and Becky Thornton presenting the Certificate of the Month.
