the yard since he was a small child. He enjoys the exercise, outside time, and keeping his yard immaculate. And weeds don’t have a chance to survive in his yard, noted club officials. They said the Owen’s yard is full of healthy vibrant flowers that frame the house and run with the driveway to the street. Each big beautiful tree in their front yard is surrounded by its own garden. There is one cherished gorgeous tree in their front yard that had such strong roots causing issues with the sidewalk. The Owens removed the sidewalk and redid the gardens near the house to accommodate the tree roots. And now they have a new look with black rock and pavers that lead from the house to the driveway. It’s a beautiful added design element, according to a statement from a selection committee representative.
“Allen says that trying to keep his plants protected and covered during the cold weather is his biggest challenge for keeping his gardens so healthy and vibrant,” states the club’s statement relating to the award. He loves doing all of the work himself but said he has no shame in asking professionals to do what he cannot do himself, and he offers that advice to other gardeners.
For the monthly award distinction, the Owens received a complimentary, one year membership to the Quail Valley Garden Club, a discount card to Enchanted Forest, a $50 gift card to Lowe’s – presented by the QVGC and a Certificate o f A p p r e c i a t i o n f r o m Missouri City presented by Councilman Floyd Emery. It is a recognition of the importance of neighborhood beautification, and the acknowledgement of a commitment made for maintaining and enhancing a property’s appearance , which is part of the representation of the city.
