Himes residence chosen as April Yard of the Month

Submitted by Judy Petty

The Polk County Master Gardeners were proud to present Ron and Karen Himes of Mena, Arkansas, the April “Yard of the Month” award.

Ron and Karen live at 209 10 th St. They moved to Mena five years ago from Washington state and were by the Master Gardener Yard of the Month Committee chairman, Rebecca Thornton, and the Polk County Extension Agent, Sherry Beaty-Sullivan.

This new project presented by the Polk County Master Gardeners will be accepting more nominations for future Yard of the Month recipients, to be turned into our Polk County Extension Office, 211 Dequeen St., Mena.

If a person is looking to improve the aesthetic of their property, perhaps the Polk County Master Gardeners Plant nominated by a Polk County community member.

Sale on May 13 at the Polk County Fairgrounds will be of interest.

A Yard of the Month sign was put up in their yard to be displayed for the month of April. The couple were also presented an award certificate signed
