Bluebonnet Garden Club chose the residence of Steve Nelson located at 2381 Gun and Rod Circle to receive the Yard of the Month award for May, 2026.

The well-maintained long curved lines of the front gardens serve to artfully complement the stacked stone architecture of the Nelson residence. Curvilinear lines in landscapes create natural, flowing, and intimate spaces by utilizing sweeping curves and serpentine shapes, often mimicking nature to contrast with rigid, straight architectural lines. Common applications include meandering pathways, soft-edged garden beds and structural features like curved walls, which encourage exploration and movement. In the landscaping world, good lines mean good designs.

At the Nelson House, the use of Asian Jasmine groundcover forms a curvy line drawing the eye toward a stately white Natchez Crepe Myrtle that serves as a focal point guiding visitors toward the front door of the house. Knockout Roses in both red and pink were used as a favorite flowering plant of Peggy’s. Interspersed with the roses are Boxwoods and African Iris. We were told that the well-shaped live oak in the back yard is most likely around 200 years old.

“Other holidays repose upon the past; Arbor Day proposes for the future.” — J. Sterling Morton
Arbor Day is an annual holiday dedicated to planting, nurturing, and celebrating trees, traditionally observed on the last Friday in April. Founded by J. Sterling Morton in Nebraska in 1872, Arbor Day encourages environmental stewardship, sustainable communities, and recognition of the lasting benefits trees provide through cleaner air, healthier water, shade, beauty, and habitat for wildlife.
Trees not only shape our landscapes; they shape our future.
We invite you to learn more about Arbor Day and its rich history through the Arbor Day Foundation. https://www.arborday.org/celebrate/history
Attached are a few photos of Arbor Day trees planted by the club over the years. A beautiful reminder of how small acts today can grow into lasting legacies for generations to come.
