Congratulations
to
Coulee Creek Florals!
Terri Carstens, owner of Coulee Creek
Florals, received "The Garden of the Month for August" award
from The Inland Empire Gardeners Club. Garden Club members residing in
Spokane County may apply to have their gardens judged, and each month
during the summer, a garden is chosen. The winner is presented at the
monthly meeting and receives a special plaque and good bag filled with
gifts donated by local businesses. The winner and their gardens will be
interviewed and photographed and will appear in the Spokesman-Review
newspaper.
This contest is something Terri has
wanted to try for many years, but she would always think that the gardens
"weren't quite good enough yet" to compete as most avid
gardeners are very critical of their own gardens. But after hosting the
July INPRO meeting and having an Open House for her son's high school
graduation, she felt good about the look of the gardens. Two days before
the judging, a terrible thunderstorm blew through the area, with sustained
30+ mph rain and a dust storm! But she and her family picked up the debris
and righted what plants they could, and called it good. "I'm just
thankful that our farm isn't on fire - it could've been so much
worse", referring to the huge fire that is currently burning NE of
Creston.
Terri would like to thank the members of
INPRO who came out to the farm and gave their words of encouragement and
praise for the garden and the gardener. "It's a lot of work, but it's
all worth it when you get to share what you love with others!"
