Bob Waskey with Tucker.
The Holden Beach Beautification Club has chosen the home of Bob Waskey and Rose Leonard at 549 OBW as the September Yard of the Month. They have worked hard to create a garden with palm trees, multiple types of salvia, numerous blooming grasses, rosemary, lilies, and beautiful perennial hibiscus. Bob is pictured with Tucker. Congratulations to Bob and Rose.
The Holden Beach Beautification Club has awarded the August Yard of the Month to Dick and Cathy Saiers at 121 Ferry Road. The yard is beautifully landscaped and there is plenty of color with annuals planted in the yard, large pots, and window boxes. Congratulations to the Saiers!
The Holden Beach Beautification Club is proudly affiliated with the National Garden Club and the Garden Club of North Carolina. Join us as we celebrate National Garden Week!

Members get ready for Plant Sale 2018
The 2018 Plant Sale is in the books and was a great success! We are still totaling up but it appears the 7th Annual sale topped last year’s record! Thanks and congratulations to Plant Sale Chair Pat Schwaiger, the Plant Sale Committee, and the rest of the Club! Thanks too to our Art Committee which crafted so many lovely items to support the sale. A warm thank you also goes out to the Holden Beach community who supported the sale and our mission of beautifying Holden Beach.
Today is the last day of the 2018 Plant Sale! Hours today are 9:00am to 3:00pm at the EOC building near the Food Lion on Sabbath Home Road. There are still lots of gorgeous annuals and perennials to brighten up any landscape. Click here for more information on our Plant Sale page.
There has been tremendous interest in plants removed from Padgett Garden during the recent renovation. Padgett Garden is the waterfall garden at the foot of the bridge and Ocean Blvd often used for family photos. This is the last chance to get Padgett Garden plants for your own garden. There are Crinium Lily bulbs, roses, and other specimens available. These plants make a fun and useful souvenir and will bloom for years.
Prices are great and all proceeds go to beautify the Holden Beach Gardens! See you at the Plant Sale!
