How does the program work?
A "Yard of the Month" winner will be selected for May, June, July, August, October
(Fall flowers / Halloween & Fall decorations) and December (clean yard / holiday
decorations). A residence does NOT have to be a member of OPNA to be eligible.
Note - this program is for front yards only - residents have expressed interest in a
backyard program and the OPNA Board will consider for later this year or next year.
During the first half of an award month, the OPNA "Yard of the Month" committee (chaired by the OPNA VP - Beautification) will select 3 residences for consideration. The OPNA Board will then vote at that month's Board meeting to select a winner.
The "Yard of the Month" winner will have a Calloway's Nursery "Yard of the Month" sign placed in their yard until the next winner is announced. Additionally, the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate directly from Calloway's Nursery within a few weeks.

Other Timely Tips
Previous Winners
Some plants like it hot so welcome the Summer days with heat-loving
color! We have partnered with the Dallas Arboretum in sponsoring
trial gardens where over 3,000 plant varieties are tested each year.
These plants must be able to survive our hot Summer days plus they
must look good doing so! The plants which excel in these conditions
are honored with the coveted "FlameProof™" award. This collection
of "hot color" is represented with colorful blooms as well as brilliant
foliage. Watch for the introduction of a new "FlameProof" variety
each week this Summer!
Keep those colors vivid by fertilizing regularly. Water soluble fertilizers can be mixed and applied with each watering. Controlled- released fertilizers can be worked into the soil and are activated by heat. Remember to check daily and water in the mornings when possible. Always top off any exposed soil with 2 to 3 inches of mulch!
We will be hosting free clinics every Saturday in June. Our clinic on June 25th at 10:15 am is titled "FlameProof™ Plants for Summer!" Join us to learn more about this special collection of heat-loving Summer plants.
