YARD OF THE MONTH

Thomas and Gloria Foster at 302 Smith St.

Tommy grew up in this cottage in the historic part of town before he moved to Houston. After he and Gloria returned over 20 years ago, he began nurturing and caring for this beautiful yard which is an explosion of color. From the front, side and backyard, there is color everywhere. Vincas abound with Celosia mixed in. Salvia farinacea and large Trumpet Bushes adorn the sides of the house. Crape Myrtles are scattered throughout the property along with a large pecan tree providing shade. Cockscomb dot the backyard garden along with Cannas. Scattered throughout the garden are statues and decorations. Worth a drive by!
