2015 Denzel Hufford Garden Award Winners
The Denzel Hufford Garden Award recognizes outstanding gardens that enhance the natural beauty of Old Town Noblesville.
Grand Prize
Nancy Huff received an outdoor garden marker and $200. Her spectacular garden is in Harbour Woods Overlook in Noblesville.
When Nancy moved in, she created a wooded back area with paths, arbors, a dry creek bed, a bridge, a bench, a birdbath and planters. While there was very little landscaping before, she’s added flower beds full of well-tended blooms. At dusk, four lanterns on timers give the wooded area a magical glow. The environmental use of a rain barrel also enhanced her score.
Runner Up
Ken Hebel of Cherry St. He received a $50 gift certificate to Garden Thyme at the Old Schoolhouse.
Ken has strived to have year-long color in his garden; bulbs and flowering trees bloom in the spring, flowering plants and bushes in summer, and late blooming plants, mums and changing leaves in autumn. The judges made special mention of the outstanding, numerous and healthy hanging flower pots.
The awards were made possible by an anonymous NPA family with NPA matching funds.
