Lake at White Oak, Baton Rouge, LA ... YARD OF THE MONTH AWARD

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty RED STICK PARTNERS

      6021 Huckleberry Court

The tall oak trees in this yard on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Lake at White Oak provide the house with cool shade and protection from the afternoon sun and a garden for shade-tolerant varieties of plants.  The garden in the front yard is full of hostas, ferns, and ivy that provide a green background for flowering plants like begonias, petunias, agapanthus, and indigo.  There is a daylily garden along the side of the house that was in full bloom a few weeks ago when the judges toured the neighborhood for an award-winning yard.  A huge multi-colored lantana surrounds the mailbox.  A few garden statues like the little bunny hiding in the liriope and a squirrel sitting on the side of a birdbath add interesting focal points. 

The house itself is typical of the beautiful homes in the Lake at White Oak.  Arched walls  on the front porch and a brick wall that creates a patio garden make this house special.  A large urn with sunflowers greets guests at the front door.  Curving gardens accentuate the beauty of this home. 

 Congratulations to the homeowners.  We'll be driving by to get great ideas for our own gardens!!
