Butlers receive Garden of the Month award

Use just a little imagination and one could easily believe that one is strolling through a garden somewhere deep in the north of Italy.

The Sierra Madre Garden Club wants to congratulate Joan and Roy Butler of Jackson Pines for having created a stunning garden, which includes a number of dramatic focal points and sitting areas, containing different combinations of plants that immediately capture interest. The garden's meandering pathways emphasize design elements that incorporate texture, pattern to form an overall feeling of unity. The entrance of the vegetable garden only adds to the Tuscan charm and feeling of relaxation in every part of this garden.
