Tucked into the established Brentwood neighbourhood of Sherwood Park, one front yard turned heads all summer — and now it has the hardware to prove it. This stunning property was selected as a featured yard in the 2025 Strathcona in Bloom Front Yard Recognition Program, earning both a Best Garden Selection designation and a Front Yard Recognition award from the community beautification initiative.

Layers of Colour; Season after Season

What makes this garden so visually arresting is its masterful use of layering. Creamy white and lime-green hydrangea blooms anchor the front border, while vivid red geraniums and orange marigolds add punchy contrast at ground level. Mid-border plantings of deep crimson roses and lush pink hydrangeas carry the eye upward, and tall evergreen columns frame the home’s stone façade like sentinels. A weeping blue spruce adds texture and movement, while climbing vines soften the roofline with a romantic, cottage-garden feel. A seamlessly orchestrated tapestry.

A Lawn that Sets the Stage

The immaculate, striped lawn at the centre of the yard is the quiet hero of the composition. Perfectly edged and a deep, rich green, it provides a clean visual pause between the richly planted borders — a breathing room that allows each floral vignette to shine without competing.

Gardens like this one remind us that a well-tended yard is more than a personal project; it’s a gift to the entire neighbourhood. Congratulations to the proud gardeners behind this exceptional space!
