Columbus Garden Club names September winners
The home of Michael and Nancy Griffin at 1603 Milam St. in Columbus was chosen as the Columbus Garden Club September Yard of the Month. This beautiful cottage with a covered porch is shaded by a majestic oak tree, and the porch is surrounded by vincas, blue plumbagoes, lily plants, and Boston ferns. The back fence is draped with wisteria and the side yard has additional vicas, pink and orange zinnias, and snake herb. A crepe myrtle and eastern redbud tree are also in the front yard.

St. John's Episcopal Church at 915 Travis St. in Columbus was the recipient of the Columbus Garden Club September Community Beautification Award. The churchyard are purple heart, Rose of Sharon and multiple ferns. Bugleweed surrounds the oak base, along with leopard plant and lily turf. Lining the side of the sanctuary, are juniper, Mealy Cup Sedge, Anacua, spider plants, Longstalk Sedge, and vincas. At the sitting area are shell ginger and Longstalk Sedge. Near the historical marker lies a garden with lantana and Slender Goldshower. Facing Preston Street are elephant ears and crepe myrtles.
