Two area residential gardens were chosen by The Ohio Association of Garden Clubs and the Ladybug Garden Club for outstanding achievement in design and maintenance of a residential property and community beautification for the month of July. The gardens of Linda Wapplehorst on Shawnee Drive, Greenville, showcases numerous containers of petunias, impatiens, geraniums with perennials of hosts, roses and more. She has been gardening for 40 years having learned from her mother, Mildred Boyer of North Star.

The gardens of Jerry and Colleen McClannan of Bur Oak Drive has been on-going for 18 years with different varieties of roses, hanging baskets, cannas, annuals, perennials and wonderful landscape of trees and shrubs. In the past, the McClannan's have been exhibitors of roses in the Darke County fair flower shows just as Jerry's mother had done.
