Beautification
Garden of the Month
1444 El Campo
This garden design takes advantage of a super-sized corner lot. Offering both privacy and visual interest, three crepe myrtles anchor an organic shaped bed. Crepe Myrtles are considered four-season plants. In the summer, they have prolific, vibrant blooms. Autumn is the season the leaves show off their color change, and winter reveals their striking sculptures.
This bed is spacious enough to accommodate several varieties of plants. It includes a grouping of cacti in one area, a mass planting of Mexican grass in another space, and wisteria that follows the curve of the garden. All of these work in harmony and reveal the diversity of plants available to our Blackland Prairie ecoregion.

Two statuesque trees (one Pecan, one Live Oak) offer shade to the front flowerbeds. Here Holly Ferns, Azaleas, Loropetalum and Boxwoods thrive in the perfect combination of sunlight and shade.
A pocket garden is located next to the stone path leading to the home's entrance. A Redbud tree is the centerpiece of this space. Redbuds are small, deciduous trees that are one of the first to bloom in the spring. They have a profusion of pink/purple blooms before the leaves appear. Additionally, Redbuds are the ideal choice as an understory tree. Azaleas, Holly Ferns, and Boxwoods grow under the Redbud and accentuates the garden's visual unity.
The residents celebrate our harvest season with pumpkins and a mix of other gourds that cascade down the steps of the front porch. Along with this, two large planters show off the striking blooms of purple Chrysanthemums. These flowers symbolize a wide range of meaning. Some examples are friendship, happiness and well being.
This garden has taken advantage of the the space to use diverse plants and flowerbed designs. It is both unique and appealing.
Thank you to for making Casa Linda Estates beautiful...one garden at a time.
