Congratulations to Rod and Janet Schrock on being awarded the March 2019 Yard of the Month designation. Janet Schrock grew up in the home located at 738 Mountain View. Her parents purchased the home in 1960. Fast forward to May 2018 when Janet and Rod purchased the home from Janet’s mother. According to Janet the yard is very similar to the way it was in 1960, with a few minor upgrades. They replaced the 50+ year-old hedges surrounding the winding walkway with bush daisies and yellow hibiscus trees. They also, added ficus trees, agapanthus, mums and petunias to the geranium and daisies already in the front planters. They added potted geraniums and ranunculus, just in time for Spring. They kept many of the yard decorations that Janet’s mom accumulated over the years. “They are meaningful to us and she still enjoys them when she comes to visit. We love our new, older home and neighborhood. It is the perfect spot to retire,” said Janet. The Schrock’s were awarded a $40 gift certificate courtesy of Otto & Sons Nursery. The Yard of the Month program is sponsored by Fillmore Civic Pride.
