Wagener Terrace Neighborhood Association

Meeting tonight!!

🌿 Yard of the Month 🌿 Congratulations to Tyre & Laura Moore of 241 Gordon St., our latest Yard of the Month winners. Their front garden is a formal boxwood parterre garden — inspired by the classic gardens of Colonial Williamsburg and designed to create a pleasing geometric pattern from above. The diamond layout became the centerpiece of the yard after weeks of careful planning and discussion. The garden also carries personal meaning. Laura shared that her mother loved Colonial Williamsburg and had a similar formal boxwood garden in New Bern, NC, which helped inspire this space. The Moores selected a newer boxwood variety chosen for improved resistance to boxwood blight, blending timeless design with practical longevity. Their advice for neighbors: put the right plant in the right location, continuously improve the soil with compost and mulch, and stay consistent with watering. Maintained and evolving since 2014, this yard is a great example of thoughtful design, patience, and long-term care. Thank you, Tyre & Laura, for helping make Wagener Terrace more beautiful.

We had such success at our last meeting with local celebrity Mayor William S. Cogswell, we thought we’d go ahead and up the ante! Come on out for a meet and greet with @taylorswift Mark your calendars for our next monthly meeting on May 18th. Thanks to everyone that came out in April! Can’t wait to see new faces in May!
