October Garden of the Month - 62 Lake Street

Grimsby Garden Club

Garden of the Month for October

                                                                                                 

Congratulations to Jo and Ken Agnew

Our fall Garden of the Month is alive with cheerful yellow marigolds and orange-red geraniums interspersed with yews, hostas, euonymus and grasses varying in tones from blue-grey to bright yellow.  The repetition of planting pleases the eye by being offset with a variety of evergreens, cedars, boxwood and blue spruce.  It is a formal yet causal planting as it winds up the driveway toward the front of the house. 

Please make sure to drive by this lovely garden at 62 Lake Street near Nelles Park. This is the Grimsby Garden Club’s last garden for the year. We would like to thank everyone for helping to make Grimsby the beautiful town that it is.


The Garden of the Month chosen by members of the Grimsby Garden Club runs from May to October each year. Winning gardens are chosen based on our criteria for curb appeal, colour, design and maintenance.
