The home of Bill and Nancy Proctor, located at 125 College Boulevard, has been selected as the Yard of the Month for September. They will be displaying the “Yard of the Month” sign and have received $50 in Carmi Gift Certificates.
“I have always enjoyed working in the yard. My grandmother had a very green thumb and my mother is 91 and still enjoys pulling weeds in her flower beds. I especially enjoy the flower pots and thinking of new combinations of flowers to try each year. As for the flower beds, I have been planting perennials and annuals that self seed. It saves time, energy and money and you are able to share the extra plants with friends! Most of the flowers are in the back yard due to a very large tree in the front yard that really limits what will grow well there. You will have to go peek over the fence to see the flowers,” stated Nancy.
“The Chamber of Commerce extends our congratulations to Bill and Nancy for winning this honor. We also appreciate the residents of Wabash Christian Retirement Center judging the Yard of the Month contest for us again this year.” stated Holly Healy of the Carmi Chamber of Commerce.
