This is the third time that Dave and Reyan have won, so they are now members of the Kennedy Heights Landscape Hall of Fame. So, what are their secrets for having a winning landscape? Reyan emphasizes the importance of color in the design. Each season she looks for colorful annuals for pots and hanging baskets and striking tropicals such as mandevilla vine to display around the porch. A favorite source is Benken’s Nursery.

Dave likes bold perennials that will take care of themselves, and hostas are some of his favorites. Along the driveway is a meadow-like bed of flowers they start from seed each year to attract pollinators and the occasional hummingbird.
