The Summer Yard of the Quarter Winner is…

Bobby and Gloria Vinson with NHNA President Robert Moreland

Congratulations to Bobby and Gloria Vinson for winning Yard of the Quarter!

They have lived in the neighborhood for 20 years and have both put a lot of hard work into their yard. You can’t help but notice their yard when you drive down Nottingham Avenue. It always appears very well cared for. This time of year, it looks lush and tropical with its elephant ear plants and brightly colored crepe myrtles. The plant choices are a perfect hybrid between what the husband and wife prefers. When we talked with them about their yard, Gloria told us she prefers green things, while her husband always wants to add flowers and color to their garden. It is Bobby, though, who really enjoys the plants and will talk your ear off about his garden if you let him. We love having the Vinsons as neighbors and as neighborhood association members.

In addition to displaying the “Yard of the Quarter” sign, they’re also the proud winners of two gift cards from local businesses whose owners also live in the neighborhood: Piedmont Brewery & Kitchen and Travis Jean Emporium. We would like to thank Scott Mitchell for donating the gift card to Travis Jean.

Get ready—the next round of voting for the summer Yard of the Quarter will be October 10-22. We cannot wait to see all of your beautiful fall decorations! In the meantime, here is some inspiration from Bobby and Gloria’s yard.
