May Yard of the Month - 5419 Vickery

Congratulations to Melanie and Marty Buckholt of 5419 Vickery, our May Yard of the Month winners! If you’ve seen a giant inflatable Easter Bunny or Uncle Sam or Santa, you know this house! It should come as no surprise that Marty runs a successful promotions company called Air Ad Promotions; you’ve probably also seen some of Melanie’s birthday handiwork in the neighborhood as she co-runs Yard Card Wishes while also working at Skillman Child Development Center.

The Buckholts have been in the area for over two decades, first living on Vanderbilt behind Stans and as their family grew, they moved into 5419 in 2004 where they raised their three children, Liberty, Justice and Hope. They absolutely love this neighborhood and never plan on moving again!

They wanted to update their front yard and over the past two years started by building raised beds and buying beautiful blue pots. (“We just really like the color blue!”) Next, for flowers, they worked with Marty’s sister, Michele Craven, a Master Gardener. To get inspiration, they walked the neighborhood and Marty pointed out different things that he liked, specifically bright, vibrant colors and Michele brought it to life with beautiful geraniums, petunias, foxtail ferns, sweet potato vine and more.

Melanie and Marty will receive a $50 gift card from our sponsor, North Haven Gardens –
Congratulations!
