ASHLAND — “Yard of the Month” honors were bestowed on the Art of Gardening’s frontrunner for July, an Ashland address, 1414 Orange Rd.
Jaclyn Enderby’s day was brightened July 5 with $50 gift certificates from the club and Farm and Home Hardware along with an Art of Gardening “Yard of the Month” sign to grace her winning yard.
Noticeable are the Tiger Lilies. Lilies are clearly her favorite. “The Stargazers in back smell so good!” Enderby added. Also a sedum and lavender lover, she pointed out antique versions of lilac.
“The yard does take a lot of work; it’s almost impossible to keep up with.” Besides the tulips and daffodils the gladioli are finally coming up. Everything started from single plants. Walnut trees, pine, two giant pear trees in back, two apple and one new peach adorn the property. The back lot of the 2.75 acres was at one time the site of a Christmas tree farm in the 1950s. In 2001 Enderby bought the house built out of solid walnut from her mother.
Son Cory and his fiancee live next door to mom, Jaclyn and her partner, Andy. Younger son Kyle is in the Army stationed at Ft. Irwin, California with his wife and 9 month old daughter, Grace.
Enderby who has a degree in Bioscience Technology had a career in the sciences. Currently a 10-year employee at Charles River, she works in Business Finance. Ever since Covid she works from home giving her quality time to cater to her two dogs, a Doberman and a Rottie Doodle.
The “Yard of the Month” is a June through September summer project.
