Legacy Club House Summer Annuals
and Landscape Renovations

As the seasons change, temperatures increase, and the days get longer, the smell of freshly mowed grass, birds singing, and the sound of the scurry of setting up the golf course for a busy morning of play permeate the last of the cool spring mornings in our lovely little valley. This time of year also brings the changing of the annual flowers around the club house. Over the past years we've learned what works, performs best, and is least appetizing for our pet deer.

 

This year we went with some old favorites and good performers from last year’s endurance test, thanks to one of the longest and hottest summers on record. Dragon wing begonia, scaevola, angelonia, coleus, lantana, and purple fountain grass are a few of the chosen plants for this season. Below are some pictures of the installation process.

Adding the mini pine nuggets gives a clean look and also holds in moisture.

Landscape Renovations

This year we are able to do some landscape renovations at the clubhouse by filling in open areas and replacing plants that were past their prime. We concentrated on the front door entrance of the clubhouse to give the landscape a cleaner, balanced, and more welcoming look. We replaced some of the scraggly dwarf yaupons with 3 gallon Carrisa hollies and Maiden Hair grass.

We also renovated the area on either side of the walkway that leads to the Men's Grill in the back of the clubhouse by planting gardenias, itea, and butterfly bushes.
