Yard of the Month - 2624 Reagan / by Michael Graves

"The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway."
- Michael Pollan, American Author, Food & Plant Expert

We, James Muhl and I, purchased their home in 1978. The three lots on Reagan and Gladys streets were the former parsonage of a neighborhood Lutheran church. In the past 46 years, the house has been raised, restored, and remodeled, and the three lots brought back together to create a garden that is a habitat for wildlife. Patricia is both a Master Gardener and a Master Naturalist. She and James have built crushed granite and brick paths that wind around flower beds, two wildscapes, a vegetable garden, and a large pond.
