​October Garden of the Month

Lafayette Garden Club presents the October Garden of Month to Nic and Katherine Love, 130 Dunreath, Lafayette, LA. The Loves removed the older landscaping, a row of holly bushes, and created a delightful garden. Katherine created the design and Nic assisted with planting. Their beds include hydrangea, flax, begonias, impatiens, day lilies, marigold, Tradescantia pallida ‘Purple Heart’, bridal wreath, low growing azaleas and euryops for pops of yellow. Sweet olive trees flank the front beds. A sugar kettle and bird water feature in the front bed provide visual interest. The front porch has a swing, pot plants and various seating areas to relax and enjoy the day.  Under the lacebark elm tree is a small seating area with a bird feeder.

​The Loves garden is a labor of love and one to be enjoyed by all.
 Lafayette Garden Club and the City of Lafayette partner to award monthly a residential garden for outstanding and unique landscaping design. A public sign recognizing the award winner is displayed at the home for a 30-day period to increase community awareness of having pride in the community. LGC is a member of the Louisiana Garden Club Federation Inc, the Deep South Garden Clubs, Inc., and the National Garden Club Inc.
