Don and Patti Chason’s yard at 118 Schooner Drive has been chosen as Yard of the Month for June 2024 by the Holden Beach Beautification Club.  The gardens have a variety of flowers, shrubs and vegetables with lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and spinach.  There are zinnias and lantana, rosemary and lenten roses, marigolds, plumbago, dahlias, a bottle brush tree and more.  It’s a lovely garden and Patti works on it continually!  

Holden Beach Beautification Club volunteers spent the morning weeding and dead-heading our recently planted gardens. The Club plants and maintains the garden areas on the island including Padgett Garden (above), Halstead Park, the Circle Gardens and the Boat Garden along Jordan Blvd., Town Hall, Butterfly Garden at the Fire Station and Pocket Park at 628 OBW. Thanks to our hardworking volunteers!

The Holden Beach Beautification Club has selected the lovely yard of Bubba and Amanda Rollins for the May 2024 yard of the month.  Their garden at 147 Carolina Avenue is a joyful place.  There are geraniums, sago palms, daylilies, hydrangeas, lantana, plumbago and more.  A sitting area gives them a place to take it all in!  

The annual Holden Beach Beautification Club Plant Sale is coming up! Plan to come see us April 28th and 29th from 8am – 3pm at Vintage Construction, 3003 Holden Beach Road – next door to Archibald’s.

HBBC adds fresh annual plants every spring and fall to the Town’s gardens. The Landscaping committee, chaired by Gayle Todd, recently completed the planting for this fall. Annuals were added to Padgett Garden, Padgett Garden Extension, The Boat Garden, Butterfly Garden, Town Hall and Pocket Park. In addition, a few perennials were added as well. Thanks to the Landscaping Committee for getting the gardens ready for cooler weather!

HBBC recently added a vinyl fence to delineate the Butterfly Garden and serve as a backdrop for plantings. The Butterfly Garden is located at the Fire Station on the island, 574 OBW, and features butterfly and pollinator friendly plantings such as milkweed. A variety of perennials grace the garden along with annuals which are replaced each Fall and Spring. The plantings took a beating during Hurricane Ian flooding but the damaged perennials will be replaced and the annuals will be refreshed. The garden also features statuary, butterfly houses, and a picnic table. Hope you can stop by!

The Holden Beach Beautification Club has selected the gardens of Larry and Donna Blume, 108 Lions Paw, as the October, 2022, yard of the month.   The Blumes  moved here 11 years ago.  They have created a beautiful flow and variety of flowers and colors that frame their home. They have such plants as siberian iris, mums, sedum, lilies, mexican heather, pansies, and more.  There are touches of hardscape stepping stones and whimsical seahorses.  A lovely palette!
