Jackie
and Jim McKown - Referred to as a backyard retreat in the
written description, the home of Jackie and Jim McKown is a paradise
for those who want to escape the real world for a Garden of
Eden-like setting. Partial fencing between the road and lawn give
great privacy for the back patio and a wonderful backdrop for an
abundance of plant life.

In the lush garden, there were also plenty of surprises, such as the
mushrooms, roosters, chickens, and much, much more. Following the
brick walkway one comes to an amazing pergola with a special place
to sit and relax while enjoying the play of light against the
crystals hanging from the roof. Exit the pergola, if you can drag
yourself away, and enter the couple’s perfectly manicured vegetable
garden in the corner of the property.
Yoko Kindred
The garden of Yoko Kindred is as pretty as they come, but also
possess some strong messages and ties to Yoko’s Asian heritage. In
the front lawn stands a flag, surrounded by ornamentation that pays
tribute to America and our nation’s military. Around the edges of
the home, mixed in with the lovely plant life and large stones, one
will find a variety of lawn ornaments with an Asian accent.

The back lawn is a private oasis for Yoko that she shares with her
grandchildren, allowing them to help in the garden and to add themes to
particular sections according to their likes.
The garden features lots of mixed of green and brightly colored flowering plants
and a wide assortment of lawn ornaments. In the center of the lawn a beautiful
fountain adds the peaceful sound of flowing water to the garden paradise.
