The Columbus Garden Club October Communi- ty Beautification Award recipient was Colorado Valley Vet at 1391 TX 71 Business in Columbus. Owner Dr. Michael Ridlen, made beautiful choices in this commercial landscape. The entire front of the large building is smartly landscaped with low-water plants like variegated
flax lily, foxtail ferns, and golden pacific juniper. A stand of red knockout roses add a bit of color in our extra warm fall while pittosporum give a reliable background of greenery. The boulders and sickle bar implement add a bit of country making this new building look right at home in its rural setting.
