Farmington Garden Club
2006 Good Neighbor Garden Contest Winners

The Farmington Garden Club recently completed its 20th Annual Good Neighbor Garden Contest in the Farmington-Farmington Hills area.
The purpose of the contest is to recognize home gardens as they add special beauty to our many neighborhoods and the whole community.
The winners received a certificate suitable for framing from the Farmington Garden Club and a gift certificate from English Gardens.
We welcome all new or experience gardeners to visit our Garden Club.
For more information see our website: farmingtongardenclub.com or feel free to call Betti Pool at 248-442-2742.

Helen Holingshead was selected to receive the award for the "Most Interesting Garden". This beautifully landscaped and maintained yard has a small wooded area that runs the length of the property (which is really a utility easement put to a very good use) for walking the cat 'Pepi' on a woodchip path complete with wildflowers in the spring. In the yard itself there are many pieces of automobile paraphernalia integrated amongst the many beautiful garden beds of annuals, perennials and shrubs.
Usha and B. N. Raju received the "Best Perennial Garden" award. They have many garden beds on their property full of several different varieties of perennials, some annuals (for that constant color) and shrubs that all together make a strong visual impact. There is a path that goes continuously around the home leading to the gardens. Next to a stream is a garden with a bench to sit on while listening to the wonderful sound of water running over rocks.


Margaret and Joesph Gantz received the "Best Shade Garden" award. They have a beautifully landscaped property with a large backyard in practically all shade. A new perennial garden has been planted around a large patio. A beautiful tall natural wood fence gives this corner lot serenity and privacy. Beautiful shade gardens grow on both sides of the fence. The front yard has an island of unusual species of trees and shrubs.
