Page 6 - shelby shopper & info - 704/484-1047 www.shelbyinfo.com Thursday, May 18-May 24, 2023 we came and walked the lot. I fell in love with all of God's nature. That was 42 years ago, and I have not stopped dig- ging, planting, taking care of plants, shrubs, and most of all finding com- fort doing all these things. Ninety percent of my yard is considered full shade so most everything I have that blooms starts in early spring. I have learned to enjoy the summer and fall with textures. A prime feature of our yard is the shared rock garden be- side our house. When our neighbors had an issue with water drainage, we worked together to find a creative solution – the rock garden is shared between both homes. A good day for me is a day in the yard (even in the rain). • Debbie and Brent Ferrell 220 Belvedere, Shelby 28150 In 1984, our family moved from Washington, DC to a 60-year-old house in Shelby (now almost 100). This two-story house was in disrepair both in- side and out and the yard was a forest of scruffy pine trees. Brent's vision for the house and yard in- cluded doing most of the work himself. The meta- morphosis of our yard over the last 39 years has been in conjunction with an addition to the house requiring a new driveway, adding a detached garage and then a connecting walkway to the existing original garage. After los- ing four very large trees in our backyard wooded area last summer, we re- furbished (with encour- agement from landscape architect, Fred Blackley) a small barn-like structure hidden in the woods. With new structural support and a new tin roof, this little barn is the focal point of the new garden path that leads to it. Our yard is no longer the ballfield and play yard that it once was but, has become a lush green tranquil oasis of Japanese maples, fes- cue grass and pachysan- dra beds. Please enjoy walking through the entire yard and you are welcome to peek into the gym in the upstairs of the detached garage. • Tate Towery 332 Elizabeth Ave. Shelby 28150 Nestled on busy Eliza- beth Ave., this garden is an oasis of calm. When you step through the garden gate you immedi- ately feel life slow down. Tate has always enjoyed gardening and has an appreciation of all things beautiful and unique. He has lived on this property his whole life (original home no longer there) and uses almost every inch to bring lovely plants to life. This small yard has a lot of surprises as you wander around the beds and find nooks and cran- nies filled with flowers, shrubs, and garden art. If you're lucky, you might even see Molly Gardner, Tate's calico cat! • William and Susan McCraw 406 Trinity Church Rd. Mooresboro 28114 Six years ago, we remodeled a 1901 old farmhouse. There was not even a hint of lawn at this broken-down farm, but tons of old junk. We soon discovered our 100-year-old oaks made it difficult to grow grass and as a result we started our gardening adventure! We specialize in conifers and perennials with pops of color from the annu- als. Pebble paths lead to a cozy water feature and fire pit under the shade of the old oak trees. We would love to have you visit! For more information on this event or to purchase tickets call 704-484-2787 or visit ccartscouncil.org or https://www.facebook.com/ events/286085626511205/.
