Granite Falls Garden Club “Yard of the Month”

GRANITE FALLS, NC (November 3, 2016)…The Granite Falls Garden Club presented the Yard Of The Month for October and November to the home of Bill and Louise Hamilton on Lakeside Ave. Granite Falls.

The  Hamilton’s Garden features a Memorial Garden that started in May of 2011. Louise’s initial thought of her Garden was to be in  memory of her Mom and Dad, then she realized there were many others  that they had lost and loved including the four legged as well.

They have had many pets throughout our near 40 years of living in their home (which were like family too).

It has taken time (and retirement) to have it blossom as it has this year.

The Hamilton’s have three types of grasses and 18 butterfly bushes that have attracted many species of butterflies and is helpful to the bees as well.

The 30 mums around the yard that have been placed recently have added a splash of color throughout. Bill and Louise are considering applying to be a “Bird sanctuary.”  They have four bird baths, numerous feeders of variety, and bird houses throughout the yard.
